Answer:

Nonrenewable Resources take longer to be replenished, reneweable resources are easily replenished and easily accessible.

Step-by-step explanation:

If something is Nonrenewable; for example fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas, then that means that the organic matter is limited and not going to grow or be created easily on Earth.

Renewable Resources are usually classified into five categories; Hydro, Solar, Wind, Biomass, and Geothermal. All of these resources are easily accesible and can be used as a natural energy source.

Hope this helped :)
