Minerals are considered non-renewable resources because they are formed over geological timescales, often taking millions of years to develop. Once extracted and used, they cannot be replenished within a human timeframe. Unlike renewable resources such as solar energy or timber, which can regenerate relatively quickly, minerals are finite and will eventually be depleted if consumption continues at current rates.
