Question

sort the resources into the correct category based on whether they are renewable or nonrenewable.
gemstones
coal and oil
hydroelectric power
apple trees
steel
wind power
renewable resources
nonrenewable resources

Explanation:

Renewable resources can be replenished naturally over time. Hydroelectric power (from water cycles), apple trees (can regrow), and wind power (wind is constantly available) fit this. Non - renewable resources form over very long geological timescales. Gemstones (minerals formed slowly), coal and oil (fossil fuels), and steel (made from iron ore, a non - renewable mineral) are non - renewable.

Answer:

Renewable Resources: hydroelectric power, apple trees, wind power
Nonrenewable Resources: gemstones, coal and oil, steel
