1. The core difference lies in replenishment speed and availability: renewable energy naturally replenishes faster than it is used, while nonrenewable energy forms over geologic time and is finite once depleted.
2. Renewable energy sources are derived from naturally replenishing sources.
3. Nonrenewable energy sources are finite, formed over millions of years from ancient organic matter.

Answer:

1. Renewable energy is a naturally replenishing energy source that is essentially inexhaustible on human timescales, while nonrenewable energy is a finite resource formed over geologic eras that will be depleted as it is consumed.
2. Solar energy, wind energy
3. Coal, crude oil
