... finite, exhaustible, non-renewable ones.
Resource depletion is an economic term referring to the exhaustion of raw materials within a region. Resources are commonly divided between renewable resources and non-renewable resources. Resource depletion is most commonly used in reference to the farming, fishing, mining, and fossil fuels.
The recent definition of a renewable energy source is that could be compensated in less than 100 years.Examples are: Solar energy, geothermal energy, biomass energy, ... etc
Renewable energy sources are sources that will not run out three examples are; Solar power, Wind powers (using windmills) and using water (an example would be a dam)
Renewable as we produce more than we use, for example coal is non-renewable because of the fact that we can't produce coal as fast as we use it.
All of them are. That's why they're called "non-renewable".
Renewable resources are being used less than fossil fuel, non-renewable resources, at the moment.
Renewable resources are being used less than fossil fuel, non-renewable resources, at the moment.
The world supply of natural gas is not inexhaustible. It is not renewable and will eventually run out. Some estimates state that it will last less than 100 years at present usage.
An example of a renewable and exhaustable resource would be wood. Trees are cut down to make wood, and they usually take a few tens of years to grow back to their original state again. If wood is cut down faster than it grows, it would be exhausted and will sooner or later disappear. However, wind and solar energy are renewable and inexhaustable, because they always exist and will never run out, so no matter how much you use them, they will still be there.A:Renewable means a resource can renew itself (like growing trees) if we are careful (sustainable).Inexhaustible means a resource will never run out, like solar energy, or wind and tides.In practice, inexhaustible and renewable resources are all classed as "renewable".
Geothermal is considered a renewable resource as it uses water and the earth's heat. Both of these are inexhaustible. However, if the water near the plant is exhausted (no more water in that area, but there is no less water than before), then the plant must be moved. It is still generally considered a renewable source of energy.
Mostly renewable resources are great but a disadvantage about renewable resources that its expensive (more money than nonrenewable resources). And, the newest is not always the best and easiest.
a resource is renewable when it can be made again in less than a hundred years or using other formats like wind mills, solar energy, hydroelectricity and such.
yaHydroelectric energy is renewable rather than exhaustible, because water can be depleted.
A society that relies on non renewable resources is unstable because these resources will eventually be used up faster than they can be produced, leaving the renewable society with no resources, leading to society's death.
A resource that cannot be replaced by natural processes in less than 1oo years is "renewable energy".Your very welcome! :DSincerley,I love youxx
This is a world-wide problem not confined to any particular country; it exists because the cost of non-renewable energy sources is, so far, significantly less than the cost of renewable sources.
Because renewable sources can be replenished (apex) because we will not run out of them
