Explanation:
Whenever there will be increase in population of living beings then there will be increase in amount of needs or requirements.
For example, when population was only 50% then use of natural resources was about 50%. But when population increased by 70% then there will be 20% increase in use of natural resources as compared to earlier consumption.
As a result, there will be decrease in quantity of resources.
Therefore, we can conclude that as the human population grows there will be increase in consumption of resources.
