Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Water is a renewable resource because it can be naturally replenished through the water cycle (evaporation, condensation, and precipitation). Helium gas is nonrenewable because it is formed through a slow process of radioactive decay and is depleted faster than it can be replaced. Coal is nonrenewable because it takes millions of years to form and is being depleted faster than it can be replenished. Rock salt is technically renewable, as it is formed through geological processes, but it is being mined faster than it can be naturally replenished. However, water is the best choice as it is the most abundant and readily replenished resource.
