There can not be any doubt in the minds of economists, sociologists, geologists or the general public that the earth does have only a finite amount of mineral resources such as

coal and iron. During the past century, the demand of these resources increased over time however the prices of these natural resources have declined or remained roughly constant relative to overall prices. Why the price is not change rapidly?

Decrease in the cost of production has increased the supply by more than enough due to latest technology use now days. That is why the price of coal and iron is unchanged or constant over the period of time. Second factor is their substitute like Furnas oil and natural gas for coal and for the iron new trend has developed by using plastic in production like in automobile industry.
