How do you distinguish between nonrenewable and renewable energy?

Renewable means that those resources will be replaced when they are used - either they grow back, like trees, or they are produced constantly, like sunlight. Nonrenewable means that once you use them, they are used, and when you use everything, there will be no more. Resources like coal and oil are nonrenewable because it takes so long to make more (by pressure deep inside the ground for millions of years) that once we use them, no more will be made during our lives. A: Renewable: Renewable energy-or resources-are replenished onced they have been removed and used. They will either grow back, or keep doing what they are doing. Meaning that they are always being produced. Non-renewable: Nonrenewable energy-or resources-are not replenished once they have been removed, taken away, and used. Once it is gone, it will never come back.
