Is oil a renewable resource or nonrenewable resource?

Answer 1

Well, isn't that a happy little question! Oil is considered a nonrenewable resource, meaning it takes millions of years to form and cannot be replaced as quickly as it is being used. But don't worry, there are many wonderful renewable energy sources like solar and wind power that we can explore to create a more sustainable and beautiful world for future generations.

Answer 2

Oil is a nonrenewable resource. It is formed from the remains of organic matter such as plankton and algae that were buried and subjected to high pressure and heat over millions of years. Once extracted and consumed, oil cannot be easily replaced within a human lifespan. This makes it finite and unsustainable in the long run.

Answer 3

All useful energy systems, save nuclear, are non renewable. What some consider renewable (Solar and Wind) are not able to provide any useful levels of power and cost more energy then they create.

Answer 4

it depends on what you are looking at. a mineral (ex. diamonds, salt, etc.) are nonrenewable, it would take thousands of years for them to grow back. but as such other Natural Resources like trees and shrubs are renewable, it would take a few years for a tree to grow back, not a lot of time.

Answer 5

No oil is non rewneweble resource because it is a liquid and can't break down

Answer 6
