¶ … Natural Resources in US History
The study explores how the US has used the historical wealth of its natural resources to offer the country a strong and sustained economy for many decades.
The USA is one of the greatest countries in the world, not just because of its superpower in terms of policing the entire globe, but also being with an extensive source and use of the natural resources. The country has been rich in natural resources since the early 1800s. With the use of these natural resources, the country has been able to feed its population, with the population being one of the greatest, and continually growing even with an annual admission of over 700,000 people from other countries. With the use of the resources, the country developed a strong capacity before the world wars to feed its people, power its machines, and establish oil and coal, which are the core natural resources in the country (MacDonnell and Sarah 32-45).
The discovery of every natural resource dates back to the early 1800s when a man was inventing several approaches for production. The expanse of the natural resources begins with an extensive coverage of land, one of the best and largest in the world. The plentiful offerings from the Appalachians,...
These resources have been there for the entire time the country has been in existence (Cubbage, O'Laughlin, and Peterson 7, 33).
Methods
The study will acquire most of its information from online databases, books and journals of varied type's websites, newspapers, among others. Accredited sources will ensure there is an equitable study process that reveals the immediate history of the natural resources in the United States of America, and how it has seen a vast growth in the country's economy.
Results
The United States of America is a resourceful country. The study reveals that much of the production within the country is from the natural resources. The study has also revealed that the stability of the country's economy is based on the natural resources. From the study results, it can be proved that the economy of the United States has been anchored on the natural resources besides innovation and technology (MacDonnell and Sarah 63). The people are the major part of the natural resources.

Fate of the Earth Unfortunately, even if someone could wave a magic wand that causes all of the nuclear weapons on earth to disappear, many believe that due to the depletion of natural resources, the earth would still be in danger of catastrophe, and humankind in danger of extinction. Jonathan Schell's book "Fate of the Earth" is an alarming portrait of the nuclear power in the world. Since the end of World
Oil was tucked deep in the belly of the earth and was often mixed with brine. It required innovations in drilling and refinery. In timber production, it demanded innovation in the felling of trees, sawing mills and processing of wood. California was the first place to have an offshore drilling station. Water had to be moved for long distances for hydroelectric power and irrigation. Technological innovations allowed all this
8 billion, and primary metal manufactures, $1.4 billion (Exports pp). Together, these five manufactured product categories accounted for 61% of the state's total exports of goods in for that year (Exports pp). In dollar terms, the leading manufactured export growth category is transportation equipment, rising $294 million between 1999 to 2003, while others included miscellaneous manufactures, up $248 million, processed foods, up $192 million, and primary metal manufactures, up $171 million
In the GEOMAR methodology, carbon dioxide displaces methane within the water lattice which reforms into a more stable state than was present with the methane. While this new technology is still in development, it is very promising (Traufetter, 2007). Recent advances by researchers from Japan, China, India, Canada, Australia, and the United States could result in commercial exploitation of Methane gas within the decade. Natural gas recovery techniques have come
Macroeconomics For most of the time since the subject of economics was first studied, the idea of resource constraints has been irrelevant. The world was simply not viewed as a finite place. The concept of resource constraints was limited, more or less, to the consideration of constraints on an individual economy. Adam Smith recognized that all economies would face resource constraints of one type or another. As Snowdon (2003) points out,
Does Natural Resources Exploitation and Government Instability Impact Economic Development in the Democratic Republic of the Congo?AbstractThis paper aims to examine the relationship between natural resources exploitation and government instability on economic development in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The study uses a qualitative-quantitative approach, analyzing different eras of Congo\\\'s history to identify trends in economic development in relation to resources exploitation and government instability. It found that natural
