what is renewable and non-renewable resources?

 Renewable resource: Renewable resources are the natural resources than can be produced again by biological or natural processes. E.g. solar radiation, tide, wind, timber (if used in sustainable way).

Non Renewable resources: These are the resources that cannot be reproduced, grown or generated again by the nature. E.g. coal, petroleum, natural gas, nuclear power etc.

 

Resources are considered renewable if they can be replenished within a relatively short period of time. Nonrenewable resources must be considered gone forever once used up because they take millions of years to regenerate
