Non-renewable resources are resources, for example sources of energy, that cannot be renewed (i.e. they will eventually run out). They are not produced continuously, but the available stock on earth is just being used up until nothing is left. These include things like coal, oil etc.

Renewable resources do not run out (they keep being renewed). These include things like plant material (when you grow a crop, you can harvest it but keep growing it again and again because they produce seeds), or sources of energy like sunlight and wind, that will always be there and never run out.
