What is a renewable resource?

• resources that once all have been found there is no more

• resources that take a long time to form

• material that is limited but can be recycled and reused in the future

• a resource that can be replenished in a short period of time

What is a nonrenewable resource?

• a resource that doesn't replenish is a short time period and is limited by time and conditions for formation

• a resource that can be replenished in a short period of time

How is oil formed?

• salt water evaporates and leaves behind halite

• formed in ancient swamps where dead plants piled up to form peat; heat and pressure turned into into coal

• combines with other minerals to form ore

• dead marine life was buried by sediment on the ocean floor; heat and pressure turned it into oil
