and what is the term "biodiversity" mean?

Answer 3

Biodiversity - The number of species in an area.

Answer 4

I know what nonrenewable and renewable resources are. This is what I have so far:
Renewable: A resource that can replace itself over time, or has an unlimited supply. Such as corn, and air.
Nonrenewable: A resource that can't replace itself over time, and is limited.
Such as oil, and coal.

Answer 5

since you already compared the renewable and nonrenewable resources, now contrast them by discussing how renewable resources interacts with biodiversity and how non-renewable resources interacts with biodiversity. That's what your question basically needs..
