Question

Resources which are inexhaustible are called ...................... and the resources which once used are lost forever, are known as ......................

Answer 1

• Renewable resources are inexhaustible as they are present in large amounts in nature and get replenished over a period of time. For example, water, forests etc.
• Non-renewable resources are exhaustible resources because once used, they are lost forever as they are not replenished by nature. For example, petrol.

So, the correct answer is 'renewable' and 'non-renewable'.
