It depends on the resource you are talking about. Fossil fuels (oil and coal) are non renewable resources the are were created from decaying plant and dinosaurs that died and decomposed millions of years ago. Although, solar, wind, and hydro power are all renewable resources that are much more environmentally friendly.
that it is non renewable you can't regrow it or replace
Renewable energy sources:Hydroelectric power accounts for 57% of the total electricity generation in New Zealandgeothermal 9%wind supplies 3% of New Zealand's demand for electricityNon-renewable energy sources:Natural gasSome coal
Glass is made from silicon, or sand. However, sand is not renewable in the way we understand the term. It will not come back after it has been used. But there are very large supplies of sand.
conserving our supplies of fossil fuels by using 'Renewable' energy from wind, solar and tides
Solar and wind renewable energy, of course. Oil shale and tar sands
When supplies of a particular energy type are finite, it is known as a non-renewable resource. These resources have a limited supply that cannot be easily replenished. Examples include fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas.
Fresh water is generally considered a renewable resource because it is naturally replenished through the water cycle, which includes processes like precipitation, evaporation, and infiltration. However, its renewability can be compromised by over-extraction, pollution, and climate change, leading to situations where local supplies become depleted or degraded. Therefore, while fresh water has the potential to be renewable, sustainable management practices are essential to ensure its ongoing availability.
Petroleum is a fossil fuel and as such it is a non-renewable resource. Petroleum is refined from crude oil, which has been formed over thousands of years. So petroleum is NOT a renewable resource.
Fossil fuel supplies are limited and not easily replaced. The principle of supply and demand suggests that as hydrocarbon supplies diminish, prices will rise. Therefore higher prices will lead to increased alternative, renewable energy supplies as previously uneconomic sources become sufficiently economical to exploit.
Yes, nonrenewable energy sources like fossil fuels are finite resources that will eventually be depleted. This underscores the importance of transitioning to renewable energy sources to ensure long-term sustainability.
Hydroelectric power is renewable. The rivers that provide this power continue to flow; they are continually renewed by rain, and do not get used up. Hydroelectric energy is considered a renewable resource. The rain falls, runs into creeks, then rivers, then the ocean, where it evaporates then falls as rain. Hydroelectic is considered a renewable source of energy. Renewable. It is in fact renewable Renewable because with the amount of water in rivers/seas, there will be power for a long time. it is a renewable resource Renewable Yes, as long as the river keeps flowing, the mill wheel (or electric turbine) will keep turning +++ All very true, but the fly in the ointment is the over-use of the reservoir as a water-supply, reducing the flow downstream. The power-station itself simply returns the water it has borrowed, but in many places now large hydro-electric projects have been ill-used as water supplies.
