Is petroleum a nonrenewable resource or a renewable one?

Petroleum is a nonrenewable resource because like oil it can eventually run out Unrefined petroleum is known as "crude oil" - it is oil, not like oil. Petroleum IS RENEWABLE, because it is refined from raw materials (crude oil) which is composed of minerals (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, sulfur and others) which never go away. The question should be: "HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR CRUDE TO BE RENEWED?" And that is a question that nobody has the answer to. Scientific evidence is inconclusive and still a bone of contention.

How is a renewable resource different from a nonrewable resource?

As their names suggest, nonrenewable resources cannot be replenished in any way after being extracted from the Earth. Renewable resources can be replaced eventually. Examples of nonrenewable resources include oil, coal, bauxite, and many other metals and fuels. Renewable resources include tree-based products and other replenishable resources including water. Although renewable resources are not likely to run out, they should not be wasted needlessly due to effort required to replenish them to meet demands.
