Question

Which renewable resource could become a non-renewable resource if used faster than Earth's ability to replenish its supply?a.water b.manganese c.sunlight d.wind

Answer 1

The most approprate answer is a. water. Although over 70% of the earth's surface is water, only a small percentage is fresh water that is suitable for domestic purposes. The high rate of pollution and the over use of groundwater resources can use water faster than it can be replenished. Some rivers and lakes can become so polluted that they cannot be used for domestic or even agricultural purposes.
