- Why It Matters: Geological Resources | Geology - Lumen Learning
We will take a glance back at the formation of rocks and minerals, concentrating on mineral and energy resources These resources focus mainly on our fossil fuels—oil, natural gas and coal However, we use a variety of other material as well Most of the resources we use are done so indirectly
- Earth’s Natural Resources and Human Impacts
Common uses of natural resources are everywhere It is nearly impossible to cease consuming natural or geologic resources altogether Here are just a few examples of things you commonly use, but probably don‟t think about:
