Which renewable resource is least dependent on the sun?
Geothermal energy is renewable, as the heat from the center of the earth will be available as long as we ever need it. This energy is the only renewable energy that does NOT come from the sun.
What is a source of external heat energy for the earth?
the sun? Yes, I am pretty sure the Sun is a major source of heat for the Earth
Is geo thermal energy non renewable?
Yes, fundamentally geothermal energy is NOT a renewable resource. The souge heat for geothermal energy is the heat from Earth's core (caused by the fission of heavy, radioactive isotopes). This heat is dissipating and will not be renewed. Also where geothermal energy is extracted, the turnover rate in the crustal rocks is so slow that the heat source is quickly cooled to the point of exhaustion. (Note, highly volcanic areas are an exception to this).
What type of energy source uses earth's heat?
Geothermal energy
What is the main source of energy that heats your earth?
Our main source of energy is the light and heat from the Sun.
Is geothermal energy a natral recource?
Geothermal energy is a renewable energy source, by using heat from the Earth to generate energy.
How is geothermal energy an alternative energy?
Geothermal energy is a renewable source of energy because it can be re-used, unlike fossil fuels. Geo- means earth, and -thermal means heat. A power plant will use the heat energy found deep in the earth to create electricity. Since the thermal energy of the earth will never go away, geothermal energy is a renewable source.
Which renewable energy source uses the heat of earth interior to generate power?
geothermal
What energy source is heat fromEarth's interior?
It is renewable source
Does geothermal renewable?
Geo = earth and thermal = heat. Yes it is a renewable source of energy. Steam engines can be run of this type of energy which will essentially be clean burning fuel.
Is geothermal a renewable energy source?
Depends. Since geothermal energy is using heat from the Earth, it can last forever. However, since Earth is just a planet that is cooling down, it loses heat every year. So it is a renewable energy source for now, until the planet loses its heat. Though in the Earth, there is always some chemical reaction going on, and they produce heat. Therefore, no one is sure if it is a renewable energy source for the future, but it is for now.Yes, it is, the geothermal hot rocks underground keep on making steam only if we keep on feeding it water.Strictly speaking geothermal energy is not renewable as we can't grow or make new energy to replace it. It is however essentially inexhaustible as it is renewed by processes like radioactive decay and tidal friction in the magma.It is not 'renewable' if you mean "can humanity restore it?", as it must with trees, for example.It is self-renewing - the Earth is constantly giving off its heat to water which is close enough to the heat to be warmed by it. It is not diminished to any noticeable extent by our using it.It is not so much a renewable energy source as it is a persistent energy source.It's capacity is theoretically unlimited.In simple terms, it is deemed to be a renewable energy source.Yes its a renewable source because it comes from the Earth and formed from the heat so they take advantage of the heat to make geothermal energy.
Is heat a renewable source of energy?
heat coming from where? heat from a fire isnt, heat from the sun is.
Why is heat energy of the earth renewable?
It's not going to run out.
Which of the following is not a renewable energy source solar energy wind energy geothermal energy fossil fuels?
Fossil Fuels. The sun, wind and heat from the earth core is continuously being produced. Fossil Fuels were created over a long period of time and required a lot of heat and pressure to be created which is why they are not considered to be renewable.
Is geothermal a renewable nonrenewable or inexhaustible source?
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.
Which renewable resource is least dependent on the sun?
Geothermal energy is renewable, as the heat from the center of the earth will be available as long as we ever need it. This energy is the only renewable energy that does NOT come from the sun.
Is geothermal energy a renewable resource or a non renewable resource?
Renewable. Like the heat of the sun, the heat of the Earth's core isn't going anywhere in the next couple of billion years.
