Is sand in a beach a renewable or nonrenewable or perpetual?

Sand on a beach is generally considered a renewable resource, but its renewal rate can vary significantly depending on environmental factors and human activity. Natural processes like erosion and sediment deposition can replenish beach sand over time. However, if sand is extracted faster than it can be replenished, it may deplete and become effectively nonrenewable in that context. Thus, while sand can renew, its sustainability is often threatened by human impact.
