Processes in the lithosphere are fast and can rapidly replace exploited resources as long as...
...exploitation is reasonable then the natural process will continue to provide the resources.
...exploitation is reduced.
Some resources in the lithosphere are replaced by geological processes. These processes are very...

Use of resources removed from the lithosphere can also cause pollution when...
...they are released more quickly than would naturally occur.
...they are released in locations that would not naturally occur.
...they are released in quantities that would not naturally occur.
