Nonrenewable Resource

A natural resource that is consumed faster than it can be created
Real World Example
Imagine trying to keep your smartphone battery charged throughout a busy day, but you use it faster than you have time to recharge it. This situation is similar to nonrenewable resources, which are consumed more quickly than they can be naturally replenished. Just like your phone's battery depletes faster than you can recharge it, nonrenewable resources such as coal, oil, and natural gas are used up faster than they are formed, leading to a potential shortfall in the future.
