Answer 1

The most effective 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 key difference between renewable resources, which can be replenished naturally within a relatively short timeframe, and nonrenewable resources, which do not replenish quickly or at all on a human timescale.
