A nonrenewable resource is a resource that there is a fixed amount of, or ones that humans cannot produce, replace, re-grow, regenerate, replenish, or figure out how to recycle and reuse in a quick manner. Human consumption is immediate and continual, but Earth and Nature makes most resources continually but very slowly.
Generally, the term "non-renewable resource" applies first to fossil fuels that take millions of years for Earth and Nature to make, and not quickly enough to replace what is used.
Examples of nonrenewable resources are anything mined from the Earth. In the field of energy and heating, that includes Fossil Fuels:
Once you burn them or use them they can't be used again.
In contrast, resources such as timber (when harvested sustainably) or metals (which can be recycled) are considered renewable resources, for the most part. However, we cannot be sure when or if these might run out.
In the field of materials,
Once you have mined what humans can reach, there's no more until the earth produces it or humans figure out how to "dig deeper" to find another area of that resource.
Timber / Wood / Hardwoods
Food not made by humans, but by nature, and which humans can over-use, threaten sustainability, and delete to near extinction:
Foods that are manually worked by humans are renewable, generally, but are not immediate to grow and available to consume:
Water
Humans cannot make water resources, either, but it is naturally renewable. However, weather patterns etc. can cause major droughts.
There are lots more, but those are just the basics.

Renewable and nonrenewable resources are basically the same all countries.
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.

Nonrenewable resources exist in finite quantity and are incapable of being replenished. Iron, as well as salt and gravel, are examples of minerals that are nonrenewable.
