Explain why ores are non renewable resources.


is this because an ore in essence is a mineral thats profitable to extract and even though the earth is plentiful in minerals, they will eventually run out and cannot be produced as fast as they are used?

is there more to it?

basically, they cannot be produced by artificial means, so they will eventually 'run out'.
