Can you explain the difference between a renewable and a nonrenewable resource?

A renewable resource is one that can be naturally replenished in the same time frame it is used. Examples of renewable resources include wind, solar, geothermal and hydropower energy, biomass and biofuel, and certain types of timber.A nonrenewable resource is one that has a finite supply and is not naturally replenished, or replenishes too slowly in comparison with the rate at which it is being used or extracted. Examples of nonrenewable resources include fossil fuels such as oil, natural gas, and coal, ores and minerals, and certain types of timber.
