Is potash a renewable or nonrenewable resource?
Renewable refers to things like wind or sunshine, which keep on coming even if we use them to produce energy. Other things are classed as renewable if we can grow them as fast as we use them. Like vegetables. Other things get used up and don't renew, like rain-forests and minerals. So phosphorus is non-renewable. When we use it all up, there's none left.
Is limestone renewable or non renewable?
I think it's not renewable because if we use all the limestone in the world we wont have any left to know how to make it on our own, but it may be renewable cause it is made from our planet Earth. +++ I'm not sure I can follow that first answer.

Is a rock renewable or nonrenewable?
Yes and no. Rock is not a renewable resource from my view but, some may not agree: At high temperatures rock can be melted down into its liquid form then reshaped and renewed. Like metal, we can continualy reuse rock. Now, most people don't reuse rock but we just get more. The dificulty with answering this question as "Yes" is that rock doesn't continually appear. Of course, in some instances the could be a stray asteroid or occasional lava flow but that is certainly not enough rock for everyone. In essence, a little amount of rock is created or found or cooled on earth but not enough for the world. Rock can be reused if melted down or built in a new way but the structure it was first would have to be removed. Personally, I believe rock is not renewable because unlike the sun, which is renewable, it doesn't keep appearing. In a way you can reuse rock but unless in special circumstances rock doesn't mysteriously appear.
