What is the difference between a renewable and a nonrenewable resource and how are they each obtained?

Answer 1

Renewable resource are those resources which can be obtained again & again with their utilisation as the time goes by. Like water, we are utilising water for various purposes, but still it get replenished from day to day by means of rainfall. Other examples can be air,forests,wind etc. Majorly we are getting this renewable resource from mother nature.

Non renewable resources are those which will get exhausted by their continuous use by the human being. Like petrol, we are already running sort of these resource because it cannot be renewed again & again.It take a very long time to replenish these resources. Mother nature is also the source of all such nonrenewable resources.
