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 difference between renewable resources (which can replenish naturally within a human timescale) and nonrenewable resources (which do not replenish in a human timescale or are finite).
