Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Renewable resources are those that are replenished by natural processes at a rate that is fast enough for them to be used continuously. This includes resources like wind energy, solar energy, and hydropower, which can be used again and again without depleting their supply. Nonrenewable resources, on the other hand, are finite and will eventually run out, such as fossil fuels or minerals. Both metallic and nonmetallic resources can be either renewable or nonrenewable, depending on the specific resource in question. Energetic resources is not a recognized classification of geological resources.
