Uranium and fossil fuels - or if you like to be clever - fissile fuels and fossil fuels...
On the human time scale, fossil fuels are not being replenished. We can manufacture the same chemicals that are found in fossil fuels but we can't create new oil oil, coal and natural gas fields within our lifetimes - or for that matter within our 10,000 times great-grandchildren's lifetimes.
Once Uranium has been used (in a fission reactor) it is converted to isotopes of other elements and is not replenished by natural processes.
What else can I help you with?
What two groups are natural resources grouped into?
Renewable resources and non-renewable resources. Renewable resources can be replenished over time, such as sunlight and wind. Non-renewable resources are finite and will be depleted over time, like fossil fuels and minerals.
What are the two types of natural resources?
Natural resources can be renewable and non-renewable.
Are fossil fuels renewable or nonrewable resources?
Non renewable. renewable include solar and tidal to name just two
What are two kinds of resources found on the Earth?
Two kinds of resources found on Earth are renewable resources and non-renewable resources. Renewable resources, such as solar energy, wind energy, and biomass, can be replenished naturally over time. In contrast, non-renewable resources, like fossil fuels and minerals, are finite and can be depleted as they are consumed. Both types of resources are essential for human development and energy production.
How can you write the main idea in a paper about natural resources?
Natural resorces is divided in to two renewable and non-renewable .renewable is when it can reproduce but in time.non-renewable it cant.if you waist all of non-renewable. We wodent have nothing.
A material on earth that is necessary or useful to people is?
Such materials are known as "natural resources".
What are two renewable resource?
Two renewable resources are paper and plastic.
What are two non-renewable resources and why?
Coal and oil. The geologic process that create them cannot keep up with their use.
What is all nonrenewable resources?
A non-renewable resource, also referred to as a finite resource, is a type of resource that cannot regenerate itself quick enough for human consumption. All the non-renewable resources fall into two categories, fossil fuels and radioactive fuel.
When people talk about resources they usually mean?
When people talk about resources they usually mean things like gas, water, and oil.They are divided up into two main groups, renewable and non-renewable.Renewable resources are things like water and air that can not run out, whereas non-renewable resources are those that can run out, such as oil and gas.
What are two examples of each kind of resource renewable nonrenewable and flow?
Renewable Resources: -Solar Radiation -Wind Non-Renewable Resources: -Coal -Natural Gas
What are renewable and non-renewable resources used for?
Renewable resources are resources which can be recycled or re-grown within a human timescale, or whose consumption does not diminish their abundance. Fossil fuels, such as oil and coal, are not renewable because while they can be re-made through natural processes, it requires geological timescales (millions of years). Solar energy, while technically not renewable, is not reduced by its consumption. The use of renewable resources are much more useful than non-renewable resources because using renewable resources is sustainable. Non-renewable resources are depleted by their use -- eventually, they run out; the world has a finite supply of oil and coal, and once depleted, the supplies cannot regenerate in any useful timescale (again, it takes millions of years for natural processes to create coal or oil).
