Are plants a renewable resource?

Yes, plants are considered a renewable resource because they can be replanted and grown within a relatively short time frame. This allows for continuous harvest and use without depleting the resource.


Is salt water an example of a renewable resource?

No, saltwater is not considered a renewable resource because it cannot be easily replenished within a short period of time. However, the water cycle continuously recycles water, making it a sustainable resource if managed properly.


An example of a renewable resource is?

solar energy. Solar energy is derived from the sun's rays and can be continuously harnessed for electricity generation through solar panels. It is considered a renewable resource because the sun is an abundant and constant source of energy.


Is wax a renewable resource?

Yes, wax is considered a renewable resource because it is derived from natural materials such as plants or animals that can be replenished through farming or other sustainable practices. Many types of wax, such as soy wax or beeswax, are biodegradable and have minimal impact on the environment when harvested responsibly.


What are the example of renewable resources?

Electrical energy resources: Wave power Solar power (also as heat energy) Geothermal power (generating electricity by turning turbines from steam generated in thermal pockets in the ground- eg in Iceland; also used directly for heating) Wind power Tidal power Biomass (newly grown plant/waste matter burnt just like fossil fuels) There are other non-energy resources that you can consider as renewable- for example building materials: insulation made of wool instead of plastic; fast growing bamboo from a responsible source instead of an ancient slow growing wood from a rainforest. Food resources must also be renewable- for example stocks of Atlantic cod are being used at an unsustainable rate and will become instinct if the trend continues. Any source which is not depleted in the long term by you using it can be considered a renewable resource. Fossil fuels are not a renewable resource because if you used it all now, there would not be any significant amount of new fossil fuel in 1000 years. Any resource can be renewable if the rate at which it is used up, is less than or equal to the rate at which it is produced.
