sorry that's all i got!
Examples of nonrenewable resources would be coal, oil, gas and nuclear fuel like uranium.
These fuels are nonrenewable because they once you burn them or use them they can't be used again.
Anything that's mined from the Earth.
In the field of energy, that includes:
- coal
- lignite
- oil
- natural gas
- shale oil
In the field of materials,
- sand and gravel
- gold
- diamonds
- iron ore
- bauxite
The only non-renewable resources are ones that cannot be replaced, or at least replenished as quickly as it would be consumed. Hardwoods would be an example, if you don't replant them. Generally this is applied to fossil fuels : coal, oil, and natural gas, which would take millions of years to replace, and not quickly enough to replace what is used.
Simple, fossil fuels like petroleum and all oil related things

So using non-renewable wood as firewood is a non-renewable source of energy.

Coal is the one we use the most of. Oil comes to mind. Nuclear energy is non-renewable. Methane is renewable, but not used much, nor easily renewable or environmentally freindly.
Differentiate renewable from non-renewable energy?
the wind is a type of renewable energy-use it and some will come along later. once you burn coal,it's gone -certainly in your lifetime-it's non renewable. A renewable fuel is anything that can replenish at roughly the same rate we consume it. Corn used for ethanol is one example. The corn replenishes at a rate as fast as we use it. Non renewable is anything that we consume at a rate faster then we can replenish. For example, we have roughly 700 years of oil left. Once this is gone, we will not have anything left. Coal, oil, nuclear and trees are examples. Trees could be renewable if we consumed at the same or lower rate then we grew new ones to maturity.
