A nonrenewable resource is a natural substance that is not replenished with the speed at which it is consumed. It is a finite resource. Fossil fuels such as oil, natural gas, and coal are examples of nonrenewable resources. ... Renewable resources are the opposite: Their supply replenishes naturally or can be sustained.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hydro-electric energy is not a natural resource because people use turbines to convert the energy from moving water. Abiotic resources are those that come from non-living, non-organic material. Examples of abiotic resources include land, fresh water, air, rare-earth elements, and heavy metals including ores, such as gold, iron, copper, silver, etc.
