Understanding Renewable and Non-Renewable Resources

The video tutorial explains the difference between non-renewable and renewable resources. Non-renewable resources, like minerals, cannot be replaced quickly by nature. Renewable resources, such as wind and solar energy, are inexhaustible or can be replenished rapidly. However, renewable resources can become scarce if overused, as seen with trees and fish. The video emphasizes the importance of managing these resources sustainably to prevent depletion.
