Summary Introduction

The possible consequences of the industrialization of countries on the world’s demand for geologic resources. Also determine source of the geological resources that will be needed by the world’s population.

Introduction:

The ecological footprint or the amount of resources used by an individual in the United States is much more than that is used by an individual from developing countries. The U.S contains only 6% of the world population which uses around 15%-40% of the world’s production of many resources. Industrialization was brought about by the great industrial revolution of the twentieth century. Due to this, the world population increased tremendously over the years, and led to the over-exploitation of the natural geological resources.
