________ resources are those which can be used without the possibility of the resource becoming depleted or exhausted.
A) non renewable
B) renewable
C) unlimited
D) abundant
Solution
The term "resource" refers to all of the elements in our surroundings that assist us meet our needs and desires. Resources are divided into two categories based on their availability: renewable and non-renewable resources. They can also be categorised as real or prospective depending on their level of development and usage, as biotic or abiotic depending on their origin, and as ubiquitous or localised depending on their distribution (private, community-owned, national and international resources).
Complete Step By Step Answer:
A renewable resource, also known as a flow resource, is a natural resource that will refill to replace the fraction depleted by usage and consumption in a finite length of time in a human time scale, either by natural reproduction or other repeating processes. Perpetual resources are those whose recovery rate is unlikely to ever exceed that of a human time scale. Renewable resources are an important aspect of the Earth's natural ecosystem and the ecosphere. A favourable life-cycle evaluation is an important sign of a resource's long-term viability.
A renewable resource is a natural resource that will replenish to replace the fraction depleted by usage and consumption in a finite length of time on a human time scale, either through natural reproduction or other repeating processes. Biomass energy, such as ethanol, hydropower, geothermal power, wind energy, and solar energy are examples of renewable resources. Organic material from plants or animals is referred to as biomass. This includes wood, sewage, and ethanol, among other things (which comes from corn or other plants).
Hence option B is correct.
Note:
Renewable resources such as firewood, latex, guano, charcoal, wood ash, plant colours such as indigo, and whale products have historically been important for human needs, but they failed to meet demand in the early industrial age. Overuse of renewable resources, such as deforestation, overgrazing, and overfishing, was a major issue in early modern times.
