One description is non-sustainable or non-renewable, because it releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere without another parallel process that takes carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.
For example carbon that was taken out of the atmosphere 100-200 million years ago is a huge resource of carbon that would cause damage if it were released by burning fuels such as coal and oil in a short time, say 200 years, and that is a very long-term cycle that is non-renewable and damaging.
Burning wood is renewable because while the tree that produced the wood was growing it absorbed carbon dioxide, so the carbon goes round in a short cycle.
Carbon gases like carbon dioxide from cows is renewable because they eat grass and that contains carbon taken out of the atmosphere when that grass grew.
What else can I help you with?
Energy that can be used and reused an infinite number of times?
A kind of energy that can be used and reused any number of times.
Why is it important to use energy?
It's not energy can be recycled and reused
Why is it important to use energy carefully?
It's not energy can be recycled and reused
Energy resources that cannot be reused after they are used?
mechanical law
What does a recovery boiler do?
It recovers the energy in the chemicals and the chemicals themselves, which can then be reused.
What energy can be used and reused an infinite number of times?
Renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind energy, can be harnessed and reused indefinitely as long as natural processes continue. Solar energy is derived from the sun's radiation, while wind energy results from atmospheric movements. These sources are sustainable, as they are continually replenished by nature, making them effectively infinite for human use.
What is the energy that can be reused?
very few can like any thing with water. example: hydro electricity.
Can geothermal energy be reused or recycled?
Geothermal energy is a renewable resource that comes from heat within the Earth's crust, so it can be continuously reused. Once the heat is extracted to generate electricity or for heating purposes, the water or steam that carries the heat can be reinjected back into the ground, making geothermal energy a sustainable and reusable source of energy.
What is the energy that can be used and reused an infinite number of times?
Renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydroelectric power can be used and reused an infinite number of times, as they are naturally replenished. These sources provide clean and sustainable energy without depleting Earth's resources.
What are the terms of renewable energy?
to be reused more than one time..........like forest animals and water
Will renewable energy sources run out one day?
If we run out of wind energy then we will have bigger problems.
Can nutrients cycle but energy can not?
Yes, nutrients can cycle through ecosystems as they are reused and recycled among living organisms, the soil, and the atmosphere. Elements like carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus move through various biogeochemical cycles, allowing them to be reused in different forms. In contrast, energy flows in one direction through an ecosystem—from the sun to producers and then to consumers—eventually dissipating as heat and not being recycled. Thus, while nutrients are continuously reused, energy is lost and cannot be recaptured.
