Answer:

renewable resources

Explanation:

Resources are substances that are used to produce energy.

They can either be renewable or non renewable.

Renewable resource can be defined as the resources which have long availability or faster replenishment as compared to the consumption rate of the resource or both.

Examples include air, soil, plants, animals and others.  

Alternatively, non renewable resource refers to the resources which are available for a limited amount of time or whose replenishment is slower as compared to its consumption rate or both.

Examples include fossil fuels like coal, mineral resources.

Crops, as mentioned earlier, are a renewable resource.

Crops can be grown again and again. Also, crops are renewable as long as the soil is available for its growth. Appropriate soil provides ideal platform for growth of different types of plants.

Soil along with weather conditions like rain, are renewable resources. They will be available as long as the planet Earth exists. This makes replenishment of plants easier.

Also, crop harvesting is a continuous process. Once the harvested crop is sold, another harvest of the crops is begun. Hence, this makes the crops available due to faster replenishment.

Hence, crops, along with soil and rain, are a renewable resource as long as it can be grown again and as long as the soil is available. Also, ideal conditions which favour crops will be available till the planet Earth exists.

Fossil fuels are non renewable resources since they are available for a finite period of time.

Mineral resources are non renewable resource since they are available for a finite period of time.

Both fossil fuels and mineral resources will perish once they are consumed completely and their replenishment takes a long period of time. Hence, the unavailability of both fossil fuels and mineral resources will be as long as the replenishment takes place.

Semmy [17]

As we get closer to the coral reef, there are going to be several things we notice. The first thing we notice will be the large number of coral that seem to have lost their color, turning bright white. In addition, if we are in Florida, we may see something called the stony coral tissue loss disease. This disease has been of great concern in recent years in Floridian waters. Looking at these two changes, we can see that both are from the impact of climate change. As the water warms, the stress on the coral reaches a high point and they start to bleach and become more susceptible to several diseases.

I hope I've helped! :)
