Which answer choice is the best example of a non-renewable natural resource?
The answer is "Oil is made by the Earth over millions of years through the pressurization of organic material under Earth's crust." This process occurs over millions of years, and is naturally occuring.
Compare your answer with the correct one above
Which answer choice is NOT a natural resource?
Gasoline is not a natural resource because it is man-made.
Compare your answer with the correct one above
Certain types of metals, like gold, are both naturally occurring and can be created in a lab. (This process is not used often because it is expensive and not efficient!) This tells us what about metals like gold?
The answer is "Gold is a natural resource that can sometimes be synthetic." Some substances can be either natural or synthetic and it depends on how the substance was made.
Compare your answer with the correct one above
