Are diamonds renewable or non-renewable

Answer 1

They are a bit of both. If you wait long enough new diamonds will be formed but if you dig them all up there will be none left and you will have to wait for new ones to form. (Like millions of years!)

Renewable refers to things like wind or sunshine, which keep on coming even if we use them to produce energy.

Other things get used up and don't renew.

So diamond is non-renewable. When we use it all up, it's gone!

Answer 2

diamonds is non renewable in the sense that their is only a finite amount to be mined from the earth. However, there are a variety of methods that can convert carbon into diamond form and carbon is virtually unlimited.

ANS2:They are a bit of both. If you wait long enough new diamonds will be formed but if you dig them all up there will be none left and you will have to wait for new ones to form. (Like millions of years!) ANS3:Renewable refers to things like wind or sunshine, which keep on coming even if we use them to produce energy.

Other things get used up and don't renew.

So diamond is non-renewable. When we use it all up, it's gone!

ANS4:Diamonds are continuously being formed and erosion continuously releases them. That makes them a renewable resource. Simply being rare does not make them non-renewable. ANS5:Because diamonds are constantly being created deep underground, they are technically a renewable resource. However, this process takes much time and these newly created diamonds are not easily accessible, being buried under miles of magma and rock.

Note: there is a good answer on WA regarding what is the difference between renewable and non-renewable. Please see the link.

Answer:

The response to this question becomes even more copmplex when the existence of manufactured diamonds is considered. Diamonds (gem and industrial quality) can be manufactured. This makes them neither renewable or non-renewable.
