The best question a student can ask to determine whether a resource is renewable or nonrenewable is:

Is the resource unlimited or able to be replaced within a reasonable time?

This question directly addresses the core distinction between renewable resources, which can be replenished naturally within a short time frame, and nonrenewable resources, which do not regenerate at a sustainable rate.
