Renewable Resources

Question 8 • DRHS GA-GSE Environmental Science

What is a difference between renewable resources and nonrenewable resources?

Answer
A
Nonrenewable resources are formed quickly, while renewable resources are formed very slowly.
B
Renewable resources will always be available, while nonrenewable resources can be used up.
C
Nonrenewable resources are freely available in nature, while renewable resources are scarce.
D
Nonrenewable resources are available indefinitely, while renewable resources can be used up.

Explanation

Renewable resources, such as sunlight and wind, are naturally replenished, while nonrenewable resources, such as coal and oil, take a very long time to form and can be used up. So the best choice is “Renewable resources will always be available, while nonrenewable resources can be used up.” Renewable resources can still be depleted if they are used faster than they are replenished, so “always available” is not literally guaranteed.
