The term 'nonrenewable resources' describes all of the 'Earth’s resources' which can run out, like gold, oil, and diamonds.

Explanation:

Some resources on the Earth are limited in number and are being rapidly used up. Unlike wind, water, and solar energy, these resources do not bear the ability to renew themselves. The actions that happened 'above the surface of the Earth' and the reactions that took place beneath the 'surface of the Earth' for billions of years are the reason behind the availability of such minerals and nonrenewable resources. Once used up entirely, these resources would no more be available.
