Freshwater can be renewed, but environmentalists consider it nonrenewable. why is there a contradiction in classification?
water is recycled through the use of irrigation, bathing, and everyday use.
water is easily polluted or depleted before it can be replaced.
water evaporates and condenses, and then precipitation returns it to the lakes.
water is highly affected by global warming, and is quickly evaporating.

The correct answer would be "Water is easily polluted or depleted before it can be replaced".

Renewable resources are natural resources which are naturally replenished at a similar pace at which they are being utilized.

They include solar energy, tidal energy, biomass, geothermal energy, fresh water et cetera.

The sources of fresh water are refreshed with the help of the water cycle on earth. However, the natural pace of refreshing fresh water is way too low as compared to the current pace of its utilization.

This is why environmentalists consider freshwater as nonrenewable. It will be depleted soon if we keep exploiting it in an unsustainable manner.

Answer;

Water is easily polluted or depleted before it can be replaced.

Explanation;

-Nonrenewable resource is a natural material that is used by humans and cannot be replaced. They include; coal, oil, and natural gas are fossil fuels. Even though they all get their energy from the sun, none of them are renewable.

-Renewable resource is a natural material that is used by humans and can be replaced. Solar, wind, and hydro are renewable and carbon-free, and effectively inexhaustible.

-Water is a renewable resource because it evaporates out of the oceans to clouds, which generate rain falling on the land.

no i don't feel that humans have oversubscribed some medications

burning fossil fouls really decrease the carbon in the atmosphere so b
