Question
nonrenewable resources include ________. people and machines land, air, and water fossil fuels and minerals
Non - renewable resources are those that do not replenish or take a very long time (geological time scale) to replenish. People are living beings (renewable in a sense of population growth), machines are made by humans (not a natural resource). Land, air, and water can be replenished (e.g., water cycle for water). Fossil fuels (like coal, oil, gas) are formed over millions of years from dead organisms and minerals (e.g., some metal ores that are mined) are in limited supply in the Earth's crust and take a long time to form.
