Detailed explanation-3: -Renewable resources are resources that can be replaced by natural processes in a relatively short amount of time.

Detailed explanation-4: -A non-renewable resource (also called a finite resource) is a natural resource that cannot be readily replaced by natural means at a pace quick enough to keep up with consumption.
