Nonrenewable Resources

Question 8 • DRHS GA-GSE Environmental Science

What is a product made from nonrenewable resources?

Answer
A
a shirt made from natural plant fibers
B
a bookshelf made from wood
C
a nail made from the metal iron
D
a paintbrush made from horse hair

Explanation

Iron is a metal obtained from ore in the Earth, a nonrenewable resource because it forms over very long periods and cannot be quickly replaced. Plant fibers, wood, and horse hair come from living things that can be regrown or reproduced, so the nail made from iron is the product made from a nonrenewable resource.
