Answer:
Sandstone takes many thousands of years to form.
Explanation:
A renewable resources are resources that can be replenished within a period of human life. Renewable resources like wind and water can be replaced almost immediately after usage.
A non renewable resources are resources that cannot be replenished within a human lifetime. This resources takes roughly thousands or millions of years to form. Example of these resource includes sandstone, Limestone and Shale.
Sandstone is a Clastic sedimentary rocks formed from sediments degradation, cementation and compaction . The rocks are mainly composed of sand size mineral particles. The sediments that form this rocks are produced due to weathering and erosional degradation of rock particles.
Generally, the process of sandstone formation takes thousands or millions of years to form. Sandstone formation passes through the stage of weathering of preexisting rocks, transport of the weathered materials, deposition , compaction and finally cementation to form sandstone. All this stages usually take thousand or million of years.
