The resource can continue to replenish itself despite being consumed.
How do you know
Renewable energy resources, such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power, are considered renewable because they are naturally replenished on a human timescale. This means that even as these resources are consumed, they can continue to regenerate and be used again without being permanently depleted. This distinguishes them from non-renewable resources, such as fossil fuels, which are finite and will eventually run out.
