A resource that replaces itself naturally?
A resource that naturally replaces itself is a renewable resource. They renew themselves at the same rate, or almost the same rate that you use them. Solar energy and wind are renewable resources.
What are energy sources like sun and water?
The sun is a renewable source of energy. Water is not a renewable source of energy. It is a renewable resource as long as the rain keeps on falling on the same place.
Is sunlight a non renewable energy resource?
No, solar energy is renewable. It comes back every day.Technically it's a Public Good. It's not going to run out and is public property.It is not a non-renewable resource in the same sense as mineral oil. Renewable resources are usually biological. If you use them you can grow more. Thus you can renew them.In short, solar energy is renewed every morning when the sun rises.No, solar energy is a renewable resource.
Renewable energy resource - would that be an energy resource which can be replaced?
Renewable means an energy source that doesn't get used up. Like sunshine or wind. You can use as much solar power as you can today, and there's still just as much coming tomorrow. So it's replaced, yes, with more of the same.
What is the difference between a renewable and nonrenewable resource and how does it even relate to geothermal energy?
renewable energy resources are those that can be reused while non-renewable energy resources are those that,once used are lost forever and cannot be regenerated again.examples of renewable resources include:solar energy,paper,wind energy , water,etc.e.g of non-renewable resources:wildlife ,petrol,etc.renewable resources are available in nature in plenty but non-renewable resources are limited and at the same time cannot be regenerated after use. Geothermal is a renewable resource. We can take advantage of the hot rocks underground for a long time before the earth cools.
Is sun light a non renewable resource?
Yes the sun is regarded as renewable energy. We can use it as much as we like today and there's still just as much coming at us tomorrow.A:The sun is not renewable energy source, it is regarded as an inexhaustible energy source because it should last for about 4.5 billion years more. To be renewable it would have to be able to be reconstructed or repowered as it ran down - we can't do this No, the sun will eventually explode in billions of years to come
What are inexhaustible resources?
Renewable means that we can replace the resource as we need it or as we use it up. This includes products made from plants and animals that can be managed. Managed in this case means both grown under cultivation (wood, grains, food) or used at a rate that is below the natural replacement rates (e.g. wild fish stocks).Inexhaustible means will never run out. The sun will die in about five billion years' time. So sunlight is not inexhaustible. Before that time, the earth and we will be frozen and dead, so wind, tides, water, geothermal and all other resources will also be finished. So nothing is inexhaustible, strictly speaking.However, if we just consider these resources to be available as long as the human species is around to need them then we can say that there is no effective difference between inexhaustible and renewable resources.So all the following are both inexhaustible and renewable:solar powerwindwave and tidal and hydro-electricgeothermalbiomass and biofuelwaterplants, crops, vegetation, trees and forests (so long as we keep replanting and regrowing at the same rate).
How is salt a renewable resource?
it's renewable, because it is produced at a faster or same rate as it is consumed!
Is tar a renewable resource or is it a non-renewable resource?
No, it is a fossil fuel and so it is non-renewable. Tar is a fossil hydrocarbon similar to crude oil and ultimately derived from the same source.
Is alternative energy and renewable energy the same thing?
No
Why fossil and solar energy the same?
fossil energy is not same as solar energy. Fossil : Its a non renewable energy.but Solar is renewable Energy,its green and eco friendly
Is renewable power the same as renewable energy?
Yes, these are synonymous phrases.
