Why is hydroelectric geothermal and biofuel energy called renewable?

∙ 10y ago
Hydroelectric power comes from rivers that are replenished from precipitation. Geothermal energy, though not specifically renewable will not run out within the next few billion years. And biofuels are produced from vegetable matter that can be regrown.
* Geothermal energy is actually partly replenished as a result of gravitational forces from the orbits of the Earth and moon tidally flexing the Earth and producing heat from friction.
