Minerals are non-renewable resources, petroleum, metals, gems.
The resources of wind, ocean current, and sun can't be used up.
Resources that can be renewed over time are organic, plant and animal, unless they are used to extinction. Air and water can be renewed if appropriate measures are used and its the will of enough people. Any resource is non-renewable unless the human population wants to renew or preserve it.
