Non-renewable resources are things that can only be used once, like coal, oil and natural gas, (because it will take millions of years for them to be produced again). When these are burned, they let off carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere.
Renewable resources are things that we can use, and they will still be there tomorrow to be used again. Sunlight and the power of the wind, the waves and the ocean tides are all renewable. We can use them today to generate electricity, and then do the same tomorrow, and probably for ever. Unlike the fossil fuels above, they have no carbon emissions once they are set up.
What they have in common is that they can all be used to produce electricity to power our cities, factories and transport.

What are nonrenewable resources? Nonrenewable resources are natural resources that cannot be replenished within a short timeframe due to their limited quantity, such as coal, oil, and natural gas. What are renewable resources? Renewable resources are natural resources that can be replenished naturally over time, such as sunlight, wind, and biomass, making them sustainable for long-term use. Why are nonrenewable resources considered unsustainable? Nonrenewable resources are finite in quantity and take millions of years to form, making them unsustainable for continued use at the current rate of consumption, leading to concerns of depletion and environmental damage. How do renewable resources differ from nonrenewable resources in terms of environmental impact? Renewable resources generally have lower environmental impact compared to nonrenewable resources, as they produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions and have minimal pollution during extraction, production, and consumption.
How are renewable and nonrenewable resources alike?
Renewable and nonrenewable both give off energy needed for the planet.
