How are renewable and nonrenewable resources different?

Zinaida [17]

Renewable resources can be replaced in a reasonable amount of time, but nonrenewable resources cannot.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nonrenewable resources can be depleted within a human lifespan while renewable resources cannot. An examp0le of a non-renewable resource is crude oil. With continuous mining of crude oil, the natural reserves will continue to decrease until it gets even harder and more expensive to find.

Renewable resources, however, are cannot be depleted since they are ever self-renewing. An example is a wind and the sun whose energy can be harnessed to provide energy to power homes and businesses.

Finger [1]

Answer:

12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to calculate the change in the area of Terry's room this is

Answer:It's an arithmetic sequence with a common difference, d, = 4

A1 = 8

A2 = 8+4 = 12

A3 = 12+4 = 16 = 8+4(3-1) = 8+4(2) = 8+8

AN = A1 + d(N-1)

AN = 8 +4(N-1) = the Nth term in the sequence
