Is metal a nonrenewable resource

Answer 1

Metal is not a living being, it does not breath nor eat or drink or need anything. A plant is a living being, it needs sunlight and water to grow and live, therefor, plants are renewable resources. Metal does not need any of these things ever. In other words..... METAL IS NOT A RENEWABLE RESOURCE...............

Answer 2

No. The earth's common metals are in limited supply. The earth is incapable of replenishing the supply at least for millions of years into the future. Technology may improve our access to deposits, but this does not make them renewable.

Answer 3

Yes, metal is generally considered a nonrenewable resource because it is extracted from ores in the Earth's crust through mining processes that are not sustainable in the long term. Once these metal ores are depleted, they cannot be easily replaced over a short period of time.

Answer 4

I think so. I don't know for sure.
