Investigating Earth's Natural Resources: Renewable and Nonrenewable Resources

The video tutorial explains the classification of natural resources into renewable and non-renewable categories. Non-renewable resources, such as coal, metals, and oil, exist in fixed amounts and cannot be readily replaced. Once used, they are gone for extremely long periods. Renewable resources, like wind, solar energy, and living organisms, can be replenished naturally in a short time. The video highlights the importance of understanding these resources and their impact on the environment.
