finite:

- something is finite when it has a limit

- the opposite of infinite (infinite: not limited)

meaning of finite (in relation with real world) :

- exhaustible (when something is exhaustible it is said to be finite)

- impermanent (existence for a limited time)

- bounded (will always have boundaries/limit)

FACTS:

-we should take care of finite things because it could get extinct

-earth is finite but population grow isn't finite

Finite resources:

- example of finite resources: oil, gas, coal

- conclusion: energy cant be use again and again, that the available usable energy is finite while there is still large amount of coal, oil, natural gas

increased energy demand:

- world's energy use has been increasing especially oil

- reason that the demand for energyhas been increasing: modern people use more enegy than the old people

indonesia's finite resources:

  1. Hi Elaine,
    I'm really excited to see your understanding of my presentation here in your class blog. It was a very pleasant experience to be able to share with all of you in Tunas Muda what I knew. Since you said above that water if finite, you should start getting your friends & the people you know to start saving water before you find yourself in a situation having to search for water for usage one day.
