deep sea mining
The most valuable of the marine mineral resources is petroleum. About 15% of the world's oil is produced offshore, and extraction capabilities are advancing. One of the largest environmental impacts of deep sea mining are discharged sediment plumes which disperse with ocean currents and thus may negatively influence the marine ecosystem. Coal deposits known as extensions of land deposits, are mined under the sea floor in Japan and England. (Source: PARCOR / ERIB)

raw material consumption
The developed countries depend on a stable supply of raw materials for their industries. Total resource requirements are increasing rapidly over the entire world. In developed countries, although population is increasing slowly, per capita use is increasing rapidly, while the opposite is happening in developing countries. Traditionally raw materials have been classified as non-renewable resources, but a distinction may be important between "loosable" resources, such as oil and coal, and "non-loosable" resources, such as metals, which can be used several times over by recycling processes.

11 by hook or crook
всеми правдами и неправдами, так или иначе, во что бы то ни стало; ≈ не мытьём, так катаньемIt is a jungle economy. The general result of this system's operation over a long period is that relatively a handful of rich capitalists have, by hook or by crook (mostly crook), grabbed possession of big industries, banks, railroads, and shipping lines, as well as most of the nation's natural resources, such as coal, oil, iron, copper and lumber. (W. Foster, ‘The Twilight of World Capitalism’, ch. IV) — В экономике царят законы джунглей. В результате действия этой системы в течение длительного времени небольшая кучка магнатов капитала всеми правдами и неправдами (преимущественно неправдами) захватила в свои руки крупную промышленность, банки, железные дороги и пароходные линии, а также и большую часть естественных ресурсов страны - угля, нефти, железной руды, меди, лесов.
