• Renewable resources are more expensive to use than non-renewable resources.

• Non-renewable resources are found only in specific locations, while renewable resources are available everywhere.

• Renewable resources are always more efficient than non-renewable resources.

What does a healthy ecosystem indicate about the diversity of life?

• A healthy ecosystem is indicated by a high diversity of life.
