Basically, humans use lot's of energy for heating, lighting, movement, and machines, that energy has come from and energy source. Some sources are renewable, and some are None-Renewable. In general as a Non-Renewable source are fossil fuels. These come from under the ground meaning that there not usable. There can be a fixed amount of coal, oil, and gas in the world and when we use this energy then its gone and there is no coming back.

-Hope this helps .

Answer:

Renewable energy resources are quickly replenished in nature while the non renewable energy resources are present in limited supply due to their slower rate of replenishment.

Step-by-step explanation:

The non-renewable energy resources are present in a limited amount. These are exhaustible resources that are formed at a slow rate to replace the reserves being used by human currently. Renewable energy resources are the inexhaustible energy resources that are quickly replenished in nature. Fossil fuels are non-renewable energy resources while the wind is a renewable one.
