Answer to Question 1

No. While iron is an exhaustible resource, there is so much iron on the planet, and it is so accessible that there is
not a practical limit.



Answer to Question 2

False. Forests are renewable. Trees reproduce naturally, and we can grow new trees to replace the ones we use, thus
they are considered a renewable resource.
