Why is it important to know whether a resource is renewable or nonrenewable?
1.) Because it determines whether or not investing in this particular resource will be practical in the long term. For example, uranium is NOT a renewable resource, which is why fission nuclear energy which uses uranium won't be around too long if only Earth's uranium is used. 2.) Because your homework depends on it.

Is geothermal power renewable or nonrenewable?
Geothermal poweris a renewable source of energy if it is utilised correctly.However if the geothermal resourceisn't managed correctly it can be over-exploited and in which case there are doubts about whether this resource can be truly classed as renewable. Whilst the resource is eventually replenished, it can take many years, and so I would say that geothermal can only be truly classed as a renewable resourceif used correctly, because if not the energy source will be run out.

Is heat a renewable resource?
It depends on what fuel is used. If the fuel is coal, natural gas, gasoline, or oil, then it is not renewable because no one makes these things. If the fuel is a biomass such as wood, it might be renewable or not, depending on whether it is regrown. Wood that is responsibly cut comes from trees or forests that continue to grow, and these take carbon dioxide out of the air, offsetting the fact that the fire burning the wood puts carbon dioxide into the air. Other examples can be cited, but the answer to the question lies in whether the fuel is grown or made currently, or does it come from some old repository, usually underground.
