Question

Natural resources are classified as renewable and nonrenewable. What is the difference between the two?

whether or not the resource exists in nature
whether or not the resource can be replaced
whether or not the resource dwindles in supply
whether or not the resource is useful to humans

Answer 1

option 2 is correct

A renewable resource is a natural resource which will replenish to replace the portion depleted by usage and consumption, either through natural reproduction or other recurring processes in a finite amount of time in a human time scale.

Answer 2

Answer: Whether or not the resource dwindles in supply.

Why: This is the answer because the meaning of renewable is that it will eventually run out, an example of a renewable energy source is coal because it is not infinite. And the meaning of non renewable is that it will never run out, an example of a non renewable energy source is the sun because it is infinite.
