A renewable resource is something that we can use, and it's still there after we've used it. Solar power, geothermal power (heat from deep under the ground), wave and tidal power and wind power are all renewable.

Renewable resources can also be resources that need some effort to use up like oxygen, wood, fish, insects.

The definition written in the dictionary :any natural resource (as wood or solar energy) that can be replenished naturally with the passage of time.

Coal, oil, natural gas and other fossil fuels like wood that we burn once are finished and are non-renewable.

A renewable resource is one that cannot be used up.

This would make petroleum, metals, and anything else dug from the ground non-renewable.

Things like wood, fish, crops, water would be renewable if the use is kept at a rate lower than the rate of renewal. As can be shown with cod stock depletion, many of these are in the non-renewable range of use.

Then we have the special case of wind and solar power. These resources are abundant and apparently our use does not reduce them, but the sources are essentially finite even though the time frame to their last days is very long.
