Detailed explanation-1: -There are four major types of nonrenewable resources: oil, natural gas, coal, and nuclear energy. Oil, natural gas, and coal are collectively called fossil fuels. Fossil fuels were formed within the Earth from dead plants and animals over millions of years-hence the name “fossil” fuels.
Detailed explanation-2: -Like coal and oil, natural gas comes from a depleting source that cannot be replenished over time and is thus referred to as a nonrenewable resource. Renewable energy is a key resource for helping the environment.
