What is the difference between renewable and inexhaustible resources?

An example of a renewable and exhaustable resource would be wood. Trees are cut down to make wood, and they usually take a few tens of years to grow back to their original state again. If wood is cut down faster than it grows, it would be exhausted and will sooner or later disappear. However, wind and solar energy are renewable and inexhaustable, because they always exist and will never run out, so no matter how much you use them, they will still be there.A:Renewable means a resource can renew itself (like growing trees) if we are careful (sustainable).Inexhaustible means a resource will never run out, like solar energy, or wind and tides.In practice, inexhaustible and renewable resources are all classed as "renewable".
