Nonrenewable resources are finite and form over geological time, meaning they cannot be replenished at a rate matching human consumption. The sun and wind are renewable, naturally replenishing energy sources. Lumber comes from trees, which can be regrown, so it is a renewable resource. Petroleum is a fossil fuel formed over millions of years and cannot be replaced once extracted and used.
