Question

an example of a nonrenewable resource is

Answer 1

Well, what do you think?

Answer 2

fossil fuel :)

Answer 3

Ellews is correct (and frankly, I don't think bpaulorg's response was necessary). A fossil fuel is the same thing as a nonrenewable resource. Think about why gas prices are getting higher...because gas, or the oil to refine into gas, is running out, right? Why is it running out? Because it is a nonrenewable resource; oil is not produced, or at least isn't produced fast enough, by nature. Hope this helps :)

Answer 4

I was advised not to give direct answer by one of the openstudy ambassador. Instead, ask them if they know what they are asking first, then lead them to the answer.
