Why is crude oil described as a finite resource?
A renewable resource forms faster than it is used, so its supply is continually replaced.
A non-renewable resource is used more slowly than it forms, so its supply eventually increases.
A finite resource is formed quickly enough to replace all the crude oil that humans use.
A finite resource is used faster than it forms, so its supply eventually runs out.
