Renewable Resource

A resource that is replaced by nature more quickly than it is consumed

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to keep your phone's battery charged throughout the day, but you have a charger that replenishes the battery faster than you use it. This situation is similar to how renewable resources work because just like the charger keeps your phone powered despite continuous usage, renewable resources are replenished by nature at a rate that exceeds their consumption. In this analogy, your phone's battery represents the resource, the usage of the phone symbolizes consumption, and the charger is nature's ability to replenish the resource quickly, ensuring it doesn't run out.
