3. FLOW: resources that ARE renewable, but cannot be used all the time.
….Just go with the flow!
RENEWABLE RESOURCES
Trees are renewable. The seeds from vegetables are renewable.
NONRENEWABLE RESOURCES
Oil that we drill from wells in the earth are nonrenewable. Once it is used, it is gone forever!
Flow Resources
Wind is a flow resource. People do not CONTROL when the wind comes. When it is there, we use it. When it isn’t, we cannot use it. This is a FLOW resource.
