Renewable Resources:

A renewable resource is a natural resource, which can reproduce over time, either through biological reproduction or other naturally reoccurring processes.

Non-Renewable Resources:

A non-renewable resource is a resource that does not renew itself at a sufficient rate for sustainable economic use.

How Do Renewable and Non-Renewable Resources Influence The Timber Industry:

The resources used for energy during the Industrial Revolution made a huge impact historically and sparked a revolution that would change the world both technologically and environmentally. They push the world forward in terms of production, distribution and technology. The new inventions and resources discovered during the Industrial Revolution were the life force that made it a defining era.

Wood was the primary resource used for the production of energy before the Industrial Revolution. The main resource used to produce energy during the Industrial Revolution was coal. In 1705, the steam engine was invented and was primarily used to pump the water out of coalmines, which flooded much of the time.

The Industrial Revolution used non-renewable resources in massive amounts, which made large impacts on the environment. It took many years to discover the effects of these resources; however, the advances in production and technology are the same ones that have allowed us to discover new, renewable resources.
