Best Answer

If the population grows exponentially and members in the population expect to maintain their current standard of living then either resources (or their utilisation)

will need to grow exponentially.

Many resources (land, fresh water, minerals, etc) are finite and, although new sources may be found for some, sustained exponential growth in the resources is unlikely. More efficient use will defer the point at which shortages appear. One major concern is that mankind will not be prepared to compromise significantly on living standards, and so one possible consequence is war.

What is the process in which inherited characteristics within a population change over generations such that new species sometimes arise?

Evolution


What is the process that keeps the number of total species on Earth from growing exponentially through speciation?

Speciation is the evolutionary process by which new biological species arise. The biologist Orator F. Cook seems to have been the first to coin the term 'speciation' for the splitting of lineages. Whether genetic drift is a minor or major contributor to speciation is the subject matter of much ongoing discussion. The process of speciation is often hastened when two formerly isolated groups are reunited.
