Question

1. what do you know about nonrenewable and renewable resources? 2. prediction do you think we could ever run out of some natural resources? why or why not? 3. connection question what types of energy do you or your family use every day? think: at home, school, or transportation.

Explanation:

1. Non - renewable resources are finite and cannot be replenished quickly, like fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas). Renewable resources can be replenished naturally over time, such as solar, wind, and water energy.
2. We could run out of non - renewable natural resources because they are being consumed at a much faster rate than they are formed. For example, fossil fuels took millions of years to form and are being used up rapidly.
3. Common types of energy used daily include electricity (which can be generated from various sources like coal, natural gas, or renewables), gasoline for transportation, and sometimes natural gas for heating at home.

Answer:

1. Non - renewable resources are finite (e.g., fossil fuels), renewable resources can be replenished (e.g., solar, wind).
2. Yes, for non - renewable resources, due to high consumption rates.
3. Electricity, gasoline, natural gas (for heating).
