Question
which group of resources are finite?
sunshine, water, air
coal, oil, precious metals and precious gems (like diamonds)
Finite resources are those that are limited in quantity and non - renewable. Sunshine, water, and air are renewable and essentially infinite in terms of human usage scales (or at least have a very large, replenishable supply). Coal, oil, precious metals, and diamonds (precious gems) are non - renewable resources. Coal and oil are fossil fuels formed over millions of years, and precious metals and diamonds are mined from limited deposits. So the group with finite resources is the second one.
