Question
a resource is nonrenewable because...
select all correct options
it can be recycled.
it is available in limited supplies.
it cannot be replaced as fast as people use it.
it can easily be replaced as it is used.
Nonrenewable resources are those that exist in finite amounts. Once used, they cannot be replenished quickly enough to keep up with consumption. The option "it is available in limited supplies" reflects the finite nature, and "it cannot be replaced as fast as people use it" highlights the inability to replenish at the rate of use. Recycling is not a defining characteristic of nonrenewable resources (e.g., fossil fuels can't be recycled in the same sense), and being easily replaced as used describes renewable resources.
