Are renewable resources the same as sustainable resources?
Renewable resources and sustainable resources are related concepts but not exactly the same. Renewable resources are those that can be replenished naturally over time, such as sunlight, wind, and water. Sustainable resources, on the other hand, refer to resources that are managed in a way that meets current needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. While renewable resources are often considered sustainable, not all sustainable resources are necessarily renewable, as some non-renewable resources can be managed in a way that ensures their long-term availability.

Why are oil, natural gas, and coal not examples of sustainable resources?
Oil, natural gas, and coal are not examples of sustainable resources because they are finite and non-renewable sources of energy. Once these resources are extracted and burned, they cannot be replaced within a human lifetime. Additionally, the extraction and burning of these fossil fuels contribute to environmental degradation and climate change. Therefore, relying on these resources for energy production is not sustainable in the long term.
