- Renewable energy sources - sources of energy which are produced in nature continuously and do not get exhausted with use are called renewable energy sources. Eg: sun,wind,biogas etc.
- Non-renewable energy sources - sources of energy which are accumulated in nature and exhausted with use are called 'non-renewable energy sources'. they are also known as ' conventional sources of energy'. Eg: fossil fuels, nuclear energy etc.
Resources can be divided into two categories: renewable and non-renewable.
Renewable resources can be easily replaced after they are used. For example, sunlight, wind, beef, corn, and...

Renewable resources are those that are replaced in nature at a rate close to their rate of use. Nonrenewable resources exist in fixed amounts or are used up faster than they can be replaced in nature.
Renewable resources:-
Renewable resources are those which are replaced by nature fast enough before their deplement. Renewable resources include human resources. Resources like water are renewable resources.
Non-Renewable resources:-
Non-renewable resources are those which are depleted before nature can replenish them. This category include huge number of important resources like mineral resource,wildlife and any more.
renewable resources are those which can be renewed ie. replaced by nature.they exist in vast amounts in nature.
eg:sun,wind,water
non renewable resources are the ones which cannot be replaced by the nature once they have been used.
eg:oil,coal,petroleum
renewable and non-renewable is something that we can renew and replenished while non-renewable were something which we cannot replenished or renew.
renewable....
sunway-sun
water-water
beach -biomass
resort-rain
Renewable Resources can be renewed by Nature, While Non-Renewable Resources can NOT be replaced, For example, Air, Solar energy, Soil and water can be renewed while Gasoline, Oil or fuels cannot be replaced (Mostly By Nature)

We will run out of non-renewable resources (e.g coal, oil, gas) but we will not run out of renewable resources (e.g wind, tides, biomass)
Renewable energy can be easily replaced, such as water and sunlight energy. Nonrenewable energy cannot be easily replaced as in the fossil fuels (natural gas, oil, coal) that took thousands to millions of years to make.
When I taught this to my students we learned about solar energy as a renewable resource. They built solar cookers and we cooked hot dogs outside, they loved it!
Renewable resources are the resources which can be recycled
Non Renewable resources are the resource which can't be recycled
Renewable resources are the resources that can replenish themselves in a small amount of time.
Non-renewable resources are the resources that can either never replenish themelves or can do it only after millions and billions of years.
You could think of it as recycling. Some things recycle themselves while the others are non-recyclable for a long period of time.
:)
a renewable resource is a rescource in which the time it takes to make the resource is equal to or les than the time it takes to use the resource. A non renewable rescource is a resource in which the time it takes to make the rescource is greater that the time it takes to use the rescource.
Renewable Non renewable
1.non- coventional resources conventional resources
2.will never get exhausted would soon deplete
3.can be regenerated cannot be regenrated
4.can be utilised over a long cannot be continuosly
utilized over a long period of time.
eg: - air, water, plants, animals eg:- minerals, coal, soil
renewable resoureces are those which can get renewed or replaced.
for examlpe: sunlight
non renewable are those which get exhausted and can not be renewed.
example: fossil fuels.
hahahahaha
renewable resources are those which can be used seversl times.renewable resources are inexhaustible,which means these resources will never get completely used up by human consumption.example -water sunlight,air etc.
non-renewable resources are those which can be not be recycled by nature.these are exhautible and cannot be used for long period of time.these are available to us in limited quantity.example-coal,petroleum,minierals etc
I know you have read this many times but I feel the need to type it again. Renewable resources can be use overand over again but there is a problem with that for humans are using it faster than it's being made. Nonrenewables cannot be use over and over again things like our fossil fuels coal, natural gas, oil.
Renwable sources of energy are those which are enormus in nature and do not get exhausted quickly they are non-convential type of energy.Non-Renawablr are just the opposite as the get exhausted and can't be replenished in nature.they are convential form of energy.
Renewable energy is generated from natural means of satisfying human needs and can be replenished, reused and reproduces easily. Renewable energy resources are abundant and by far the most unpolluted and sanitary sources of energy on Earth. e.g:- wind, tidal, hydral, solar, nuclear, geothermal, etc (renewable energy resources are clean, efficient, free, safe, cost effective, unlimited and sustainable)
Renewable energy resources are classified into two types: continuous and sustainable.
ON THE OTHER HAND
Non-renewable energy resources, cannot be produced, grown or generated and are supposed to be preserved overtime, in order to prevent their depletion or exhaustion. e.g:- fossil fuel and radioactive fuel. (non-renewable energy resources are limited, expensive, unsafe, polluting and not sustainable)
The difference between non-renewable resources and renewable resources is that resources, which are items available to humans and animals to use, can be either renewable, in other words, they keep repopulating themselves at a rate that makes them useful to us over and over again or they are non-renewable, which means that it takes so long for them to populate that we are not able to use them in our lifetime. Often resources take thousands of years to renew, such as oil, which comes from fossilized animals. It takes a long time to fosilize! The sun, on the other hand, is a great renewable resource because it is always there for us to use.
RENEWABLE RESOURCES=
Renewable resources are the natural resources which can be used again and again or can be reproduced by physical, mechanical and chemical processes. Eg- solar energy, air, water and soil.
NON-RENEWABLE RESOURCES=
Non-renewable resources are the natural resources that cannot be replaced at all or within a reasonable period of time. Eg- fossil fuels such as oil, gas and coal.
Non Renewable resources are sources that cannot be used again after you use. Some can be renewed but not between a considerable period. Fossil fuels are a good example of a non renewable source.
Renewable resources are resources that uyou can keep using since it is very quickly renewed. Water is an example of a renewable source.
Non-renewable resources are resources that are hard to find and this are resources that only found in few places like oil and in the term of animals non-renewable resources are endangered THAT WE ARE NOT SUPPOSE TO ABUSE!!!
While renewable resources are resources that are always there and can be easily be found everywhere like air ..

Renewable Energy Sources are energy which has a source in nature
i.e, the energy sources obtained from nature like solar energy,wind
energy etc. As the nature is too large as compared to humans, even if
we exploit these sources they will not end in the near future.For
Example,the solar energy will definitely finish one day when the
Reaction in the sun is over but definitely not in the near future.It will
millions and millions of years.
Whereas
Non Renewable Energy sources are also found in nature but they
caanot be restored back as they are not available in plenty in nature
and they require millions of years to form.Eg. fossil fuels like
coal,petroleum etc.They should be used judiciously.
Non-renewable resources are used up quicker than they can be made by nature. Usually the cut off time is more than 100 years.
Renewable resources replenish naturally within 100 years, or...

renewable resources once used, can be re-used.
non-renewable resources once used, can never be used again.
renewable means---- "re" as in again, so it means to become"new again". ok, not exactly, but u can work out the meaning somewhat like that.
renewbale resources are those resources which cam be renewed or reuses .for example, solar energy
non renewbale resouces are those resources that cannot be reused ,once if we use it , example coal. petroluem
renewable sources can be recycled e.g coal,nuclear powerand nonrenewable sources can not be recycled e.gpaper ,solar energy air and water
This is very simple. Renewbale resources are resources that can be renewed, or are replacable such as solar or wind power. Nonrenewbale resources are the opposite of renewbale resources, they cannot be reused, such as coal and oil. I hope this answer helps you!
renewable-non convential source of energy,can be replenished
non renewable-conventional source of energy,cannot be replenished as it takes a long period of time
According to the nature of life span of sources of energy, they are divided into 2 main kinds they are Renewable source of energy and Non-renewable sources of energy.
Renewable source of energy are the energy sources which are continuously used in the nature and can't be exhausted .They are present in great amount in the nature. Eg solar energy , Hydro energy etc
Those sources of energy which is stored in the nature and can't be replaced quickly. if exhausted are called non renewable sources of energy. Fossil fuel like coal, petrolium etc .They are present in scarce amount in the nature .
nonrenewable resources:are resources such as coal, gas, and oil. nonrenewable resources are rescources that take a very long time to make( are used faster then are being made)
renewable resources: are resources such as wind, water, and garbage. renewable resources dont take many years to be made and are an allmost unlimited supplie.
Renewable energy can be easily replaced, such as water and sunlight energy. Nonrenewable energy cannot be easily replaced as in the fossil fuels (natural gas, oil, coal) that took thousands to millions of years to make.
nonrenewable resources:are resources like coal, gas, and oil. nonrenewable resources are rescources that take a very long time to make( are used faster then are being made)
renewable resources: are resources such as wind, water, and garbage. renewable resources dont take many years to be made and are an almost unlimited supply
three letters...
renewable resources, such as wind, water, and sunlight, will never run out, as the earth keeps producing more. non renewable resources have a limited supply on the planet
Renewable resources are those that are replaced in nature at a rate close to their rate of use. Nonrenewable resources exist in fixed amounts or are used up faster than they can be replaced in nature.
renewable can be replaced but non-renewable energy cannot be replaed.
renewable energy resources are those that can be replaced like sun waterwhile non renewable are those that cannot be replaced after being exhausted
Renewable resources can be restored or renewed. Non-renewable once used are gone forever.
RENEWABLE:CAN BE RENEWED,NON CONVENTIONAL,NON EXHAUSTIBLE,POLLUTION FREE,CHEAP,ABUNDANT IN NATURE,EG ARE SOLAR,TIDAL ETC
NON RENEWABLE IS ITS VICE VERSA
Renewable resources are resources that can be replaced as they are used. They include:
soil, air, water, sunlight and wood
Non-renewable resources are those natural resources that cannot be replaced as they are used. They include:
oil, coal, gas and uranium
Thank you, i hope this answer fits for you all, who read this!
Renewable resources r those resources which can be renewed or replenished.
Non Renewable resources are those resources which cannot be renewed or take 100's of years to get renewed
Non renewable can't be remade. Once they are gone they can't come back renewable can be renued such as water.
the sources which cannot be reused after their energy is exhausted is known as non-renewable energy source.
and the source which can be used contineously is known as renewable energy source.
Renewable resources are those which do noy get exhausted .For eg:solar energy.Non Renewable resources are those which get exhausted soon
a renewable resource is that which after used can be made new and usable while a non-renewable resource cannot be made new after use.
Non-renewable: Is something that will eventually run out and nature or anyone can no bring it back.
Renewable: Renewable is something that we can use over and over again and will never run out.
Non-renewable: Is something that will eventually run out and nature or anyone can no bring it back.
Renewable: Renewable is something that we can use over and over again and will never run out.
renewable energy is everything that is natural ie: Solar panels, wind turbines, biomass... Everything that does not release alot of CO2, and that does not affect the atmosphere alot.
renewable can be replaced.
non-renewable cannot be replaced.
RENEWABLE CAN BE REUSED, NONRENEWABLE CAN'T BADA BING BABY!
the above mentioned answers
plus the word "non"
the renewable resource doesn't have "none" before it.
lol
Renewable resources cannot be used over again and is infinite.
Ex: water
Non renewable - is finite and will run out some day
ex: coal, oil
renewable
SEARCH INTERNET
non renewable
SEARCH INTERNET
