The purpose of non renewable resources is that theirs only some amount of it so you need to use it carefully so we dont run out of it.
RENEWABLE RESOURCES :
Any resource, such as wood or solar energy, that can or will be replenished naturally in the course of time.
Solar Energy
Definition : radiant energy emitted by the sun.
Examples : Solar panels, solar heating etc.
Hydropower Energy
Definition : electricity generated using the energy of moving water.
Examples : hydroelectric power plants etc.

Fossil Fuels
Definition : a natural fuel such as coal or gas, formed in the geological past from the remains of living organisms.
Examples : coal, oil, dead organisms etc.
Coal
Definition : a combustible black or dark brown rock consisting mainly of carbonized plant matter, found mainly in underground deposits and widely used as fuel.l
Examples : steel, electricity etc.
Natural Gas
Definition : flammable gas consisting largely of methane and other hydrocarbons, occurring naturaly underground (often in association with petroleum) and useful as fuel.
Examples : fuel, organic compounds etc.
Nuclear Energy
