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 key distinction between renewable resources (which can be replenished naturally over time) and nonrenewable resources (which exist in finite amounts and cannot be replenished on a human timescale).
