Question

Definition of renewable and nonrenewable resources

Answer 1

Renewable resource:

Any resource, such as wood or solar energy, that can or will be replenished naturally in the course of time

Non renewable resource:

A resource of economic value that cannot be readily replaced by natural means on a level equal to its consumption. Most fossil fuels, such as oil, natural gas and coal are considered nonrenewable resources in that their use is not sustainable because their formation takes billions of years.

Answer 2

Non-renewable resources are resources that cannot be replaced nor used again for eg: coal, oil.


Renewable resources are those resources that can be replaced and can be used over and over again for eg: wood, paper.
