Trees are renewable resources. Trees can be planted, grown up, and harvested for timber. ... A forest is a renewable resource but it takes much more time to grow a forest than to grow a stand of trees.

Answer:

Renewable Resources: Renewable resources are an energy source that cannot be depleted and are able to supply a continuous source of clean energy.

Non-renewable resources: Non-renewable resources are an energy source that can be depleted after sometime.

Explanation:

Iron Ore

Iron ores are usually the rocks and minerals from which metallic iron can be extracted. There are basically four main types of iron ore deposits namely, massive hematite, which is the most commonly mined, magnetite, titanomagnetite, and pisolitic ironstone. These ores vary greatly in colour from dark grey, bright yellow, or deep purple to rusty red. Iron ores are therefore essential for the production of steel, which in turn is essential to maintain a strong industrial base.

Trees

We get foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, etc., from trees and plants. Most of the plants have medicinal values and hence they give us medicines. We also get wood from trees which are used to make furniture. We get fibres from trees which are used to make clothes and paper.

Renewable Resources

A renewable resource also called as a flow resource. It is a natural resource which will replenish to replace the portion depleted by usage and consumption, either through natural reproduction or other recurring processes in a finite amount of time in a human time scale.

Example: Wind, Air, Water, Sun, Trees

Non-renewable Resources

Nonrenewable resources are derived from the Earth in a finite supply that can take billions of years to replenish. Historically, many non-renewables have been relatively cheap to extract. But as their supply continues to diminish, the cost of this extraction may rise in price, leading customers to use alternative sources, such as solar and wind energy.

Example: Iron ore, fossil fuels
