Some resources, like oil, are made millions of years ago from animals which have died at that time. Those animals were covered by a very thick layer of sand and mud, and because of the pressure of the sand and mud, under and above it, it changed into oil. So oil is not renewable, because it takes thousands, or millions of years to make it.
