Question

which statements about renewable and nonrenewable resources are true? check all that apply.
renewable resources are expensive to produce.
nonrenewable resources are abundant but will not last forever.
renewable resources are used faster than they are replenished.
renewable and nonrenewable resources both produce clean energy
nonrenewable resources are easy to produce.
renewable resources require more maintenance than nonrenewable resources.

Explanation:

• Non - renewable resources are abundant but will not last forever: Non - renewable resources like fossil fuels exist in large quantities currently but are finite. Once consumed, they cannot be replenished on a human - relevant timescale.
• Renewable resources require more maintenance than non - renewable resources: Renewable energy systems (e.g., solar panels, wind turbines) often need regular upkeep for optimal performance. Non - renewable resource extraction (e.g., coal mining) may have different but generally less frequent maintenance requirements related to the extraction machinery compared to the continuous operation - related maintenance of renewable systems.

Answer:

Nonrenewable resources are abundant but will not last forever.
Renewable resources require more maintenance than nonrenewable resources.
