Usually that means fossil fuel which take millions of years to make, search 'em on wikipedia
Renewable means that it comes back again tomorrow even after we have used it as much as we can today, like sunlight, or wind or tidal power.Tropical rainforests are non-renewable (well, not for hundreds and hundreds of years) and are NOT fossil fuel.Most non-renewable sources of energy are fossil fuels, but there are many minerals like gold and silver, etc, that are not fossil fuels, but are non-renewable. Strictly speaking if we wait around for millions of years some of them might renew, but generally we say, if we use up all the gold in the world today, then there's no more tomorrow. Non-renewable!
Opals take millions of years to become what they are today. So we say its not renewable
When we say 'renewable', what we really mean is that the energy source is replenishing at least as fast as it is being used. Since the sun is always shining, it is renewable. Crude oil, and other fossil fuels, replenish very slowly - on the scale of millions of years.
Because I say so... no one can ever change my principle... you heard
coal, gas You used a double negative here. The least non-renewable means the same thing as the most renewable. I would say sunlight is the most renewable energy source. Sure the sun will burn out some day, but that will be a long time from now. Sunlight will last a lot longer than coal and gas.
Yes i is. Though some people say it is a renewable resource too. But, scientificly approved, it is considered a non-renewable resource because it takes too long to renew its self. Ask more questions if you need any more data! I am glad to help!
There arn't actually any, but these are some flow resources(a renewable resource that i don't say count as renewable resource since it exists as long as humanity is still here.)1. Water2. Air3. Wind4. Sun
some people say it isnt if its the sun, so if u mean the the sun then no, it is not renewable. solar energy itself, you PROBABLY could...
I believe you are asking why renewable resources are a solution to our fossil fuel problem? First, we need to define these problems. Since fossil fuels are not unlimited sources of fuel (non-renewable) we will eventually use all the commercially recoverable fossil fuels. As the supply becomes scarce, the price will go up. Second, burning fossil fuels cause pollution, which includes air contaminents that are can be unsafe to breath (carbon monoxide in particular), acid rain and global warming. I would say that renewable resources are part of the solution. However, experts warn that non-polluting sources of energy, such as wind power and hydroelectric, can not provide for all our energy needs. Finding ways to conserve energy, such as using energy efficient appliances, particularly air conditioning, also helps. See related links.
Japan had very limited non-renewable reserve, far as I know, japan had limited domestic oil reserve. Coal mining was greatly decline since 1980 and amount remain should be at minimal. I can't find any reference confirm the presence of nuclear fuel so I say I give up for the number three.
Generally they are more convenient and portable. Most of our energy is produced by non renewable sources and society is, presently, adapted to that. Many people would say they were not better, because of the carbon they are putting into the atmosphere. They are cheaper at the moment because few countries have a price on carbon.
