A nonrenewable resource is best defined as **a resource that is in limited supply**. Nonrenewable resources, such as fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) and minerals, cannot be replenished on a human timescale once they are consumed. This distinguishes them from renewable resources, which can be replenished relatively quickly.
