Practice and Revision - Renewable and Non-renewable Resources

Core concept

Renewable resources, like solar energy, wind, and water, can be used repeatedly since nature replenishes them relatively quickly.

How it works

Non-renewable resources, like coal, oil, and natural gas, take millions of years to form and are being used faster than they can be replaced.

Why it matters

The overuse of non-renewable resources raises concerns about running out and causing environmental damage, like pollution from fossil fuels.

Key detail

Transitioning to more renewable resources is important for sustainable development and reducing environmental harm.
