Geologically, we can divide the outer core of the earth into two parts which are lithosphere and asthenosphere. Lithospheric shell contains a number of major breaks which can be referred as plate boundaries. Lithosphere sits on Asthenosphere, which is the portion of the mantle, causing the plates to move around as its solid and ductile properties. When we think about the movements of plate tectonics, we generally come up with the idea of dramatic natural disasters which destroy and derive numerous lives from the earth, however, plate tectonics contribute to many benefits to human society through the rock cycle which provides us many meaningful natural resources.

According to the four basic rules of capitalism, natural resources is one of the components of production, therefore, if individual country is able to utilize the natural resources, the production will increase and lead to market approach which then increase more profit for the country and make the country wealthier. According to the book ‘The environment and its resources’, Man’s material progress can be measured by the use of mineral resources, in the last 30 years, the US has consumed more mineral than the rest of the world since the beginning of civilization. In the next 30 years, the demand will tremendously increase due to continuing population and economic growth. There is no doubt that the abundant mineral supplies will enable the Us to enjoy highest standard of living in the world. The collateral aspects of mineral and the industries are significant to a nation’s economy, exploitation of mineral resources provides the basic income on many other activities. However, it is not necessarily that the industrial growth and economy of a country will be based solely on the existence of the mineral resources. Some countries such as Japan and Germany can create strong economies by flowing the principle of market approach. Despite, they do not process extensive mineral resources but …show more content…
Therefore, when the Earth move, these dots will be severely affected, human beings then attempt to protect themselves by using the natural resources in order to strengthen themselves to be more resistant to the effect of plate movement. Nevertheless, humans have been deriving the advantages from the Earth for long time and somehow also contribute the bad effect to the Earth such as releasing carbon dioxide which the drive the rate of climate change even faster. In addition, minerals and fossil fuels are non-renewable because there is no possibility of their being replenished on a timescale of relevance to human society. Thereby, we need to concern about our future without these priceless natural resources and how we minimize the effect of plate tectonics in the
