the sun.
1.) Because it determines whether or not investing in this particular resource will be practical in the long term. For example, uranium is NOT a renewable resource, which is why fission nuclear energy which uses uranium won't be around too long if only Earth's uranium is used. 2.) Because your homework depends on it.
In the same sense that Oil is a non renewable resource, sand is a non renewable resource as well. There is an awful lot of sand on the Earth to last for centuries, perhaps millenia, however if it was used as much as oil for example, it would eventually run out. This is so because rocks take a long time to reach a 'sand state' in sufficient quantities to be considered a resource so eventually, IF the sand did run out, people would have to wait at least several centuries before there would be enough sand again to be used. There is no renewing in this resource at all, the rock cycle is a closed system, however there are NOT equal quanities of material at each stage of the cycle, therefore making it unrenewable.
Natural resources must be used carefully because (depending on what type of resource it is [renewable or non-renewable]) they can be depleated, and if it is a nen-renewable resource it is gone forever.
Natural resources means things like coal, oil, sunlight, water, heat etc.They have to do with the earth because they are found on, or in, the earth.Up till now we have been using coal and oil, natural resources, for generating electricity (we burn them in power stations).Oil is a non-renewable resource, that means when we have pumped it all up, it's finished.Sunlight is a renewable resource. If we use sunlight today, there's still plenty more tomorrow. If we can harness the sun's energy to generate electricity we will have a much cleaner earth.increase at the same rate as the human population
It does not produce pollution. And the sun is free so it does not take up anything. [Except that solar cells take a large amount of energy to create, there is a tremendous amount of waste in creating them and solar panels loose their efficiency in 20 years...and they don't vanish into thin air so plan on filling up a landfill] Because sunshine renews itself every day. By using it for electricity we don't use it up. It comes back just as strong the next day. [There are only specific locations on the planet where this is true due to the amount of average sun exposure in a day] Because you can never run out of the sun which is the source of solar energy. It's only renewable as long as the Sun still exists. [The bold honest truth. Solar failed in the 70s. It's efficiency has not improved significantly. The only reason it is cost effective is because the government is throwing our tax dollars away. It will never be cost effective on its own. If you want a clean truly renewable resource......BUILD A DAM]
Wood is considered a renewable resource because it can be cut down and grown again and again
The sun is considered a renewable resource because it will continue to produce reusable energy forever. Fossil fuels aren't renewable because they are finite.
Yes solar power is considered to be a renewable resource because the sun rays don't run out.
No, oil is not considered a renewable resource because it takes millions of years to form and cannot be replenished within a human lifetime.
Grain is a renewable resource, you merely plant more. Trees are considered a renewable resource, as is leather. Any plantable commodity is a renewable resource as long as it is done in a sustainable manner.
renewable because it comes from treesit is a renewable resource because it comes from trees.renewablepaper is A renewable resource
renewable because when it melts it can freez many more times
Yes, water is considered a renewable resource because it is naturally replenished through the water cycle, which involves evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.
They aren't usually considered a resource.
Alcohol is not considered a renewable or non-renewable resource. This is because alcohol is not a raw substance harvested from the Earth.
Yes, gold is considered a non-renewable resource because it is a finite material that cannot be replaced once it is extracted from the Earth. The rate of gold mining far exceeds the rate at which new gold is formed, making it a non-renewable resource.
Rubber is considered a renewable resource because it is derived from latex sap produced by rubber trees. Rubber trees can be replanted and tapped for latex over and over again, making rubber a sustainable and renewable material.
