Which of the following is an example of a renewable natural resource?

a. the knowledge possessed by scientists
b. carpenters’ labor services
c. lumber
d. all of the above are correct.

c. lumber      

Explanation:

Lumber is considered a renewable natural resource because it is gotten from trees and trees are grow-able. A renewable natural resource is a resource which can be used repeatedly and replaced naturally. Examples of renewable natural resources are solar energy from the sun, water, oxygen, biomass, trees etc. Trees can be harvested and processed into lumber. The harvested trees can be planted again by humans or they can naturally reproduce through seedlings or fruits that drop and germinate on their own. This renewable germinating process of trees makes lumber a renewable natural resource.

the answer is false. this is because for ice to melt, it requires latent heat of melting. latent heat means heat energy required to change phase without any increase in temperatures. therefore, the ice will take energy from the environment to melt hence atmospheric temperatures will reduce.
