Renewable and nonrenewable resources are alike in that both are used to produce energy and materials essential for human activities. Both types of resources are extracted from the Earth and play a crucial role in powering industries, transportation, and households. Additionally, the extraction and use of both renewable and nonrenewable resources can have environmental impacts, such as habitat disruption and pollution. Despite their differences in availability and sustainability, both resource types are vital for meeting the energy and material needs of society.
