Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are non-renewable.

They took millions and millions of years to form and are being used up in a time scale of hundreds of years. When they are gone, it will take millions of years again for the processes that create coal and oil to happen.

When we use them, they are gone. This is the opposite of renewable sources of energy, like wind and solar, which can be used over and over.

No, carbon dioxide is not considered a non-renewable resource. It is a natural component of the Earth's atmosphere and is continuously recycled through processes like photosynthesis and respiration. However, human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, can lead to an excess of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, contributing to global warming and climate change.

Renewable vs nonrenewable is a question of whether the resource is generated fast enough to replenish what we use it for. In this case carbon is taken from coal which takes 1000s to millions of years to create and we will have used almost all of our coal in the next 50 years.

So it is a nonrenewable resource.

A car is non-renewable. It is made up of many parts that can be recycled, and used for other things, but it is not safe for the environment, and as a whole, it is not a renewable thing.

Carbon dioxide is renewable because every living organism gives off oxygen during respiration, so as long as there are living organisms, there will be carbon dioxide.
