Finite and Renewable Resources

The vocab definitions above are incorrect - the first 2 should read....

Unsustainable resource use - Materials being used at a faster rate than they can be replaced, eventually will run out.

Sustainable resource use - Materials that are being used at the same rate as they are being replaced , won't run out.

Both of the above relate to renewable resources, ie renewable resources such as fish, timber, etc can be exploited in a sustainable or unsustainable way.

Non-renewable resources are finite, in that they cannot be simply replaced, although alternatives may be found, eg the increasing use of biofuels to replace crude oil and petroleum
