No, rock is not a renewable resource because it takes millions of years for rocks to form through geological processes. Once rocks are mined or extracted, they cannot be easily replaced within a human lifetime.
Virtually all minerals and rocks are considered nonrenewable in normal human definitions of time. The rate at which most minerals and rocks are being used far outstrips the abilities of natural processes to renew them. In geologic time, some rock and mineral resources could be considered renewable. Others, however, would not be renewable after any period of time, due to the unique circumstances that led to their initial formation.
Soil is renewable because it can be regenerated over time through natural processes such as weathering of rocks, decomposition of organic matter, and formation of new soil layers. However, soil degradation due to factors such as erosion, pollution, and deforestation can deplete soil fertility and lead to non-renewable conditions in the short term.
Silica sand itself is considered renewable, as it is produced by the continual erosion of rocks and minerals. However, the rate at which it can be extracted and processed for industrial use may outpace its natural replenishment, leading to concerns about sustainability.
No, rock is not considered renewable because it takes millions of years to form through geological processes like cooling magma or compression of sediments. Once rocks are extracted and used, they cannot be quickly replenished like renewable resources such as solar or wind energy.
Rocks arent renewable
a rock is renewable
NO
Nonrenuable
Oil, Minerals and Rocks, and coal are all the non renewable resources I know.

good it is a renewable energy resource found in rocks underground (heat from the rdioactive rocks)
A biogenic sedimentary rock, and a fossil fuel.
No. The Grand Canyon is not a renewable resource. A renewable resource is one that can be produced for years to come to provide some sort of fuel to humanity. Such as water, oxygen and meat from animals. Minerals --> rocks --> what the grand canyon is made of is not renewable
It uses rocks from underground and makes lots of power. It is cheap and clean and is renewable.
