Answer:

The difference is due to the succeeding vowel sound strength (whether it is weak or strong)

"ch" produces "k" like sound. Whenever , alphabet "c" with in any word comes before any weak vowel sound such as i  or e , it always sound as "ch".

Therefore, c and ch in gioco and giochi are sound similar.

"sc" sounds like "sk" when it comes before any strong vowel sound (as in the case of capisco)

Describe how a renewable resource could become a nonrenewable resource
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Renewable resources can become nonrenewable resources if they are used faster than they can be replenished. If the resource no longer exists, there is nothing to regenerate or be replenished. For example, if we cut down trees faster than we grow them, trees can become a nonrenewable resource because there are no trees to regenerate.
