Stone. Used for building. Iron ore. Used to make steel and iron. Uranium. Used to power nuclear plants. Bauxite. Used to make aluminum.


What is a renewable resource and how does wind energy fit?

A renewable resource is something that is used today (for generating electricity), and it's still there tomorrow for generating more.So solar power is a renewable resource. So is windpower. So is the power of water running in rivers (till they dry up), and the power of water in the tides and in the ocean waves.GeoThermal power, using the heat from deep down in the earth, is also renewable. Biomass, the burning of recently dead vegetation is also classed as renewable.Non-renewable sources of energy are wood (mostly), coal, oil, natural gas and uranium (nuclear power).

Why is hydro power better than nonrenewable sources?

Hydropower means power that is contained in water either due to its kinetic or potential energy. Hydro power can be considered to be a renewable source of energy given the fact that rivers and streams continue to flow for ever. Hence, we can use such energy to extract power and use it for our daily needs. Traditionally water mills were used near fast flowing areas or falls. These days its used to run turbines to generate electricity

Is nuclear eneregy inexhaustible?

Most nuclear power plants use uranium. Once the uranium is use it can never be used again. The earth has a lot more power in buried uranium then in buried oil. Also bringing back 150KG of uranium from mars is a lot easier then bringing back 15000000gal(exact figures unknown) of oil from mars. both have the same amount of power. Is in inexhaustible, no. Pretty close to being inexhaustible, Yes
