Which best describes a similarity between power plants that use water as an energy source and those that use wind as an energy source?
"Free fuel" They both utilize solar energy.
Is Tidal energy renewable nonrenewable or inexhaustible?
tidal energy is inexhaustible because we cannot use up all of the ocean. tides will still go in and out
Is a light bulb non renewable?
Electricity is a secondary power source. It depends on what is used to generate it. Wind, water or solar are all renewable or use little or nothing after the original manufacture of the component's.
Conclusion to the extra use of non-renewable sources of energy?
If humans continue to use nonrenewable sources of energy, they will eventually run out of them. This means that eventually renewable energy sources will be the only energy source.
Is it possible to use tornadoes as a source of energy?
No. Tornadoes are too rare and too hard to predict for us to use them as an energy source.
Would ocean energy help reduce the use of nonrenewable resources?
Any alternative energy source can help achieve this. The question is whether you can find a practical way to use such energy.
Is petrol a nonrenewable source of energy?
Yes even though it is slowly created it isn't fast enough for easy use.
Which best describes a similarity between power plants that use water as an energy source and those that use wind as an energy source?
"Free fuel" They both utilize solar energy.
Why is nonrenewable energy easier to use?
nonrenewable energy sources are easier to use as their technologies are well established since thousands of years. Also, they are more reliable energy sources.
Is solar a nonrenewable source?
For all intents and purpose Solar energy is a renewable resource. It is there for us to harvest and its use by us wil not diminish the supply.
Is Tidal energy renewable nonrenewable or inexhaustible?
tidal energy is inexhaustible because we cannot use up all of the ocean. tides will still go in and out
Is burning coal to create steam in power plants the use of nonrenewable energy source?
Depends on where it came from. If this is mined coal( which it usually is) it's nonrenewable. If it is coal made from dead wood, this is renewable. We can always grow more trees.
Is it possible for homes to use only renewable energy instead of nonrenewable energy?
Look at homes in Iceland, they are not dependent on nonrenewable sources. Iceland uses geothermal energy and hydropower for its main source of power. It is possible to build a home that is only dependent on renewable energy source however you must take into account the location of the home as certain renewable energies will be in abundance in some locations whilst in other that will not be the case.
What is meant by a renewable source of energy?
Renewable source of energy means that this source is not exhaustible by its use in producing electricity or heat (steam) or mechanical energy. An example is solar energy. Using sunlight to produce electricity through special devices, called photoelectric cells, will not exhaust sunlight coming to earth. Fossil fuels like oil, gas, and coal are examples of nonrenewable sources of energy as they are exhausted by their use.
Would nuclear fusion be a nonrenewable or renewable source?
It would technically be a nonrenewable resource, because the elements we use (uranium) will eventually run out.
Is sunlight a renewable resource or non-renewable rescource?
They use a renewable source of energy. Most are constructed using non renewable resources.
Is a light bulb non renewable?
Electricity is a secondary power source. It depends on what is used to generate it. Wind, water or solar are all renewable or use little or nothing after the original manufacture of the component's.
