A renewable resource is any natural resource that can replenish itself naturally overtime. Some examples are wood, biomass energy, geothermal energy, wind power, and solar energy.

(National Renewable Energy Laboratory)

__Nonrenewable Resources:__
Nonrenewable resources are resources that come out of the ground as liquids, solids, and gases. Oil, coal, natural gas, and nuclear energy are the main sources of nonrenewable energy. They are essentially called nonrenewable resources because they cannot be replenished naturally over a short period of time.
