What is happening to nonrenewable resources?

Answer 1

By definition a nonrenewable resource is one that cannot be replaced within a short period of time, so with the exception of thousands/millions of years item dependent, the nonrenewable does not have the option of replacement and therefor becomes a lost resource.

Answer 2

if we over use non renewable resorces, they will eventually run out.

Answer 3

We have too many people and too little non-renewable resources. So we are using more then there is to give.
