Answer (1)

Renewable and nonrenewable resources differ mainly in how quickly they are replenished and their availability. Renewable resources can be replaced naturally over short periods, while nonrenewable resources are finite and take millions of years to form. The most accurate distinction is that they differ in the available amount and rate they are used and replaced. ;
