• It takes millions of years to replace.

• Trees grow everywhere, so we always have some.

• It can be replaced in a reasonable amount of time.

How are renewable and nonrenewable resources different?

• Renewable resources can be replaced, but nonrenewable resource are recycled.

• There are a lot of nonrenewable resources and very few renewable resources.

• Nonrenewable resources cannot be replaced, whereas renewable resources can be recycled.

• Renewable resources can be replaced in a reasonable amount of time, but nonrenewable resources cannot.

Jesse created a table classifying different resources, but he made a mistake. Which statement describes why the table is incorrect?

• Wind is a nonrenewable resource.

• Nonrenewable resources are found in the core of the Earth.

• Sunlight is a nonrenewable resource as there is only one sun.

• Water is a renewable resource.

Oil and wood are both used as sources of fuel. How are these two resources different?

• Oil is a natural resource and wood is not.

• Wood is a natural resource and oil is not.

• Oil is a renewable resource and wood is nonrenewable.

• Wood is a renewable resource and oil is nonrenewable.

Water is a resource that humans need to survive. How would this resource change if it took millions of years to replace?

• It would be a natural resource.

• It would be a renewable resource.

• It would be an unnatural resource.

• It would be a nonrenewable resource.

Two resources are described below:

Resource 1: Corn plants that grow quickly without harming the environment

Resource 2: The rainforest takes hundreds of years to regrow when cut down

Which statement is true about these resources?

• Both are renewable resources.

• Both are nonrenewable resources.

• Resource 1 is nonrenewable and Resource 2 is renewable.

• Resource 1 is renewable and Resource 2 is nonrenewable.
