Crude oil, natural gas, coal, copper, limestone - essentially anything you mine from the earth cannot be renewed.

Gold and possibly some other precious metals cannot be duplicated or renewed...diamonds, coal, oil and natural gas can theoretically be created in the lab or small quantities but not in the volumes we see in nature.

Most elements on the periodic table can be considered resources. None of them can be reproduced anywhere in the universe.

Is a non-renewable source.
Coal, gas and oil are the main three that are brought up.
They are non renewable because it took millions of years to make them, and the way that they are made (fossilisation) doesnt really occur anymore. I believe thats because we mine it too fast and move the land too much or something like that...
