Is gold a non renewable resources or renewable resources?

Answer 1

Because when all of the gold gets mined out of the mines it can't be replaced by nature.

A:Gold is a non-renewable resource. The definition of non-renewable resource is this, from the EPA: "A natural resource which, in terms of human time scales, is contained within the Earth in a fixed quantity and therefore can be used once only in the foreseeable future (although it may be recycled after its first use). This includes the fossil fuels and is extended to include mineral resources and sometimes ground water, although water and many minerals are renewed eventually." A:Same with coal

A:

Gold is non renewable because it forms over a long period of time- like oil, coal fossil fuels, etc.

Answer 2

Gold is a non-renewable resource. The definition of non-renewable resource is this, from the EPA: "A natural resource which, in terms of human time scales, is contained within the Earth in a fixed quantity and therefore can be used once only in the foreseeable future (although it may be recycled after its first use). This includes the fossil fuels and is extended to include mineral resources and sometimes ground water, although water and many minerals are renewed eventually."

Gold is a mineral that will not replenish itself in comparison to human life-cycles.

Answer 3

The terms don't apply. Renewable resources are resources that are destroyed/consumed but can be replaced (sun-power, grass, wind-power). non-renewable resources are resources that are destroyed but cannot be easily replaces (fossil fuels, mostly). Gold is an ore: it is not destroyed when used, and is not renewed by any process on earth.

Answer 4

Gold is an element and is a non-renewable resource. New gold doesn't get created. However, elements such as gold and silver are very recyclable.

Answer 5

It is non renewable since the gold deposits will eventually run out.

Answer 6
