Detailed explanation-1: -Nonrenewable energy resources include coal, natural gas, oil, and nuclear energy. Once these resources are used up, they cannot be replaced, which is a major problem for humanity as we are currently dependent on them to supply most of our energy needs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fossil fuels-coal, oil and gas-on the other hand, are non-renewable resources that take hundreds of millions of years to form. Fossil fuels, when burned to produce energy, cause harmful greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-3: -Renewable energy resources include solar, water, wind, biomass, and geothermal power. These resources are usually replaced at the same rate that we use them. Scientists know that the Sun will continue to shine for billions of years. So we can use the solar energy without it ever running out.

Detailed explanation-4: -Q. Fossil fuels cannot be replenished by natural means at the same rate that it is consumed that’s why they are known as non-renewable sources of energy.

Detailed explanation-5: -A renewable resource is a natural resource that cannot be used up or it is one that can be replaced within a human life span. Air, water, soil, plants, and animals are examples of renewable resources.
