Title: Differentiate between exhaustible and inexhaustible resources.
Course: Sustainability and Renewable Technologies (21053) > Section: Introducing Sustainability and Renewable Resources

Differentiation should include

- defining exhaustible and inexhaustible resources
- distinguishing between examples of resources and the long-term/short-term benefits and true (i.e., or full) cost of each
- describing the terms, illustrating the differences, and providing examples of each.

Some examples of exhaustible resources are trash, metals, and biomass. Inexhaustible resources include sunlight, tides, and wind.

Process/Skill Questions:

- How can solar and wind be inexhaustible resources while wood is not?
- What factors lead to renewable resources being exhausted?
