Question

overusing resources like forests, water, or fish can cause them to run out of it... what do we call it?
deforestation
economic problems
depletion
pollution

Explanation:

• Deforestation specifically refers to the clearing of forests, not the over - use of all resources like forests, water, and fish.
• Economic Problems is a very broad term and does not directly describe the over - use of natural resources leading to their running out.
• Depletion means the reduction or exhaustion of a resource. When we overuse resources like forests, water, or fish, causing them to run out, this is called depletion.
• Pollution is about the introduction of harmful substances into the environment, not about using up resources.

Answer:

Depletion
