CoachNo, rock is not considered renewable because it takes millions of years to form through geological processes like cooling magma or compression of sediments. Once rocks are extracted and used, they cannot be quickly replenished like renewable resources such as solar or wind energy.

Is limestone renewable or non renewable?
I think it's not renewable because if we use all the limestone in the world we wont have any left to know how to make it on our own, but it may be renewable cause it is made from our planet Earth. +++ I'm not sure I can follow that first answer. It is not renewable. Although new limestone is being formed in various places around the world, the rate of deposition and lithification, let alone uplift, is far lower than that of our removal of existing rock.
