Nonrenewable Resource

A natural resource that is consumed faster than it can be created
Real World Example
Imagine trying to keep your smartphone charged throughout the day, but you keep using it for streaming videos, browsing the web, and playing games, which drains the battery faster than it can recharge. This scenario is similar to the concept of a nonrenewable resource, where we consume natural resources like fossil fuels quicker than they can naturally replenish. Just like how your phone's battery depletes faster than it can refill when overused, nonrenewable resources diminish because they are extracted and used up at a rate that far exceeds the Earth's ability to produce more.
