Classify the following into renewable and non-renewable resources:
  1. Trees.
  2. Fish.
  3. Petroleum.
  4. Coal.

Answer

  • Water, trees and fish are the renewable resources.
Renewable resources are those which can be used without the possibility of the resource becoming depleted or exhausted. That is, a continuous supply of the resource remains available.
  • Petroleum, coal and iron ore are non-renewable resources.
Non-renewable resources, on the other hand, are those which get exhausted with extraction and use.
