Is ore nonrenewable

Answer 1

yes it is nonrenewable

Answer 2

Because once you have mined them they are "removed" and while they are not lost to the planet (unless they are used in spacecraft), it would take geological processes and time (4.6 billion years) to recirculate them into ores again. Also during that period the heat form the core could run out and the driver for recirculation of mineral could disappear. Thus from a human perspective, whatever you mine is non renewable.

Answer 3

Mineral resources are considered non-renewable because their production by earth forces on a geologic timescale cannot keep up with their consumption by humans on a human timescale.

Answer 4

Ores are considered non-renewable resources as they are a natural resource that cannot be forever re-made or re-grown.

Answer 5

Because they came as a part of the planet. We aren't getting any more, can't make them or grow them, only dig them up and refine them.

Answer 6

They are considered a nonrenewable resource because they can't reproduce. Rock and minerals are formed over millions of years and are worn down over millions of years. They can't have babies.

Answer 7

Because when they are used and discarded the raw materials are gone forever.

Answer 8

The term nonrenewable is used to describe a resource that is used at a faster rate than it is formed. (ie: Trees can become nonrenewable if we use them faster than we grow them, oil, etc.)

Answer 9

Yes, ore is considered nonrenewable because it is extracted from the earth's crust and is not replaced within a human lifespan. Once it is extracted and used, it is gone.
