उत्तर
The resources mainly undergoing depletion are non-renewable resources, especially petroleum and natural gas, because most cars use petrol or diesel. The increasing number of cars also leads to:
- Greater consumption of fossil fuels.
- Faster depletion of limited petroleum reserves.
- More air pollution.
- Higher emissions of greenhouse gases.
- Increased pressure on roads and urban land
The rapid increase in cars causes depletion of non-renewable energy resources and also creates serious environmental problems. Therefore, public transport, electric vehicles and cleaner fuels should be encouraged.
