1. Trees can be used up, but they are considered renewable because they can be replanted and grown again.

2. Coal is a nonrenewable resource, as it is formed over millions of years from the remains of plants and animals and cannot be replaced within a human lifetime.

3. Petroleum is a nonrenewable resource because it takes millions of years to form and once it is used up, it cannot be easily replaced.

4. The main difference between renewable and nonrenewable resources is that renewable resources can be replenished naturally or through human intervention, while nonrenewable resources are finite and cannot be easily replaced once depleted.

5. An ocean wave is considered a renewable resource because it is generated by wind and tides, which are naturally replenished. However, the energy generated from ocean waves may be harnessed in a nonrenewable manner, depending on the technology used.
