Open in App
Solution

Forests and coal are exhaustible natural resources.

Explanation

Non-renewable sources that cannot be readily replenished or replaced by naturally. Therefore, these are a non-renewable exhaustible resource. Forest is the renewable exhaustible resource because it takes less time to grow plants and replenish in nature. Exhaustible natural resources like coal, petroleum and natural gas were formed from the dead remains of living organism (fossils).

Actions like driving electric and hybrid vehicles, installing solar panels on and properly insulating your business and home, and using energy-efficient appliances are all smaller-scale changes that you can make to reduce your nonrenewable resource usage.
