What is a non-renewable resource?
A natural resource that cannot be readily replaced
A natural resource that can be replaced by biogeochemical cycles
A resource that can be recycled indefinitely
A resource that is sustainable through practices
The correct answer is: A natural resource that cannot be readily replaced
A non-renewable resource is a type of natural resource that cannot be replenished or replaced through natural processes or is depleted at a much faster rate than it can be replenished. Option B is incorrect because some biogeochemical cycles, such as water, can be replenished and therefore are renewable resources. Option C is incorrect because although recycling can extend the lifespan of a resource, it does not make it renewable. Option D is incorrect because sustainable practices help preserve resources, but do not make them renewable.
