Finite Natural Resources

11 march 2011, there's a visitor name Mr. Alex.. He was a lecturer and his age is 38 years old.. He make us power point and present it to us all.. The title is Finite Natural Resources..

He explained to us that there are 12 finite resources in Indonesia that is oil, coal, gas, tin, silver, gold, manganese, asphalt, limestone, bauxite, salt, and nickel..

It also tells us what's the meaning of finite that is something is finite when it has a limit.. Over the quantity, degree, and capacity..

Meaning of finite in the real world exhaustible, impermanent, and bounded.. he also tells us the meaning of each word to everybody.. exhaustible means that the capable of being used and get over. (natural resources).. impermanent means that when something is in existence for a limited time then its span is called finite span. bounded means that something which is finite will always have boundaries or limits set to it..

Inside the power point there's also facts.. finite things should be taken care of because It could get extinct.. therefore natural resources and animals should be protected.. earth is finite but population grow isn't finite, so to maintain the proportion, the population growth rate has to become zero..

It says that the world wide energy use has been increasing and is protected to keep on increasing especially the demand for oil..

One reason that the demand for energy has been increasing, is that our per capital energy use or the amount of energy that each person uses has been increasing.

today 28% of the world's population consumes 77% of the world's energy production..

Another reason for this increased demand is the exponential growth of the world's human population as more of the developing world becomes more industrialized, the more energy humans will need..

there are still lots more information from Mr. Alex about this..
and I'm very thank you for all this information that can help me on my future..

thx Mr. Alex!!
Salluuuttt....

  2. Dear Shan,

    That was a very detailed & good summary that you posted. As an English teacher, my advice to you is to write as often as possible.Read a lot of different article to improve your vocabulary & learn how different writers' write.
