Why is fermentation more likely to occur in a long walk?

Short run because you would use up more energy in a shorter period of time.


What are the condition for a substance to be called a resource?

A resource is something that we can use over and over again. For instance, sunlight (solar energy), wind energy, and the tides (tidal energy) are such resources. If we cut down mature soft wood or hard wood trees, and then replant new trees for the (long term) future, that is arenewable resource.A non-renewable resource is coal, natural gas and crude oil. Once used there is no natural replacement.


What is the importance of preserving energy sources?

Energy supply must be sustainable and diverse. And energy needs to be used more efficiently. A sustainable energy supply, both in the short- and the long-term, is needed for promoting both economic development and people's quality of life, as well as protecting the environment.We also need a greater diversification of energy resources - if we are largely dependent on one fuel source, we risk price rises and supply disruptions.Energy is a precious resource which must be conserved. Improved energy efficiency, therefore, in our homes, factories and transport needs to be strongly encouraged. Energy supply must be sustainable and diverse.

What is a natural resource burned to get energy and formed from the remains of organisms that lived long ago?

Both coal and oil are assumed to have formed from the remains of organisms that lived long ago. Most natural gas is also assumed to have formed by the decomposition of these materials.

What is an inexhaustible energy resource?

There is no such thing. However, there are some energy sources - such as our Sun - which can last a long, long time.


Is chemical energy a inexhaustible resource?

As long as there are mechanisms, such as living organisms, that convert sunlight into chemical energy, and as long as the sun continues producing sunlight, chemical energy is an inexhaustible resource. There would be a finite amount of energy that could be exploited, because the sun's output is finite, but as a resource it wouldn't "run out".


Why are renewable energy sources good?

Because of the definition of "renewable". Basically, it means that you can use such a resource for a long, long time, without the resource running out.

Short wavelength wave carry not energy (in proportion to their frequency.)


Why do you say renewable energy resource it energy cannot be created nor destroyed?

You are right: In that sense the term "renewable energy" is a misnomer. What renewable energy simply means is that you can continue using it for a long, long time.


Is tidal energy a permanent resource?

Yes, it will continue as long as the moon moves round the Earth.
