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: -Non-renewable energy comes from sources that will run out or will not be replenished in our lifetimes-or even in many, many lifetimes. Most non-renewable energy sources are fossil fuels: coal, petroleum, and natural gas.
Detailed explanation-3: -A non-renewable resource (also called a finite resource) is a natural resource that cannot be readily replaced by natural means at a pace quick enough to keep up with consumption. An example is carbon-based fossil fuels. The original organic matter, with the aid of heat and pressure, becomes a fuel such as oil or gas.
Detailed explanation-4: -Renewable resources are those resources that continue to exist despite being consumed or can replenish themselves over a period of time even as they are used. They include the sun, wind, water, geothermal, and biomass. The disadvantage of renewable resources is that they may not be available for use when needed.
Detailed explanation-5: -Oil can last up to 50 years, natural gas up to 53 years, and coal up to 114 years.
