Why is tide and wave energy considered renewable resources?

Energy is renewable if it comes from a renewable source. Wave power, capturing the movement of the tides and ocean waves is renewable, because using it today does not mean it stops tomorrow. There are many experimental stations around the world for wave energy, but no large and successful results yet.


Which energy sources are non renewable?

Non-renewable energy is any energy resource that is 'finite'. Examples are coal, oil, gas. renewable energy would be wave, wind, & solar.


What is a continuous resource?

If you mean a renewable resources then water power, wind power, and solar power are all considered to be renewable.


What is a renewable source of energy?

solar energy, water, wind....a renewable source of energy is that which renews naturally in a little amount of time, or remains in nature always. it doesnt end with use.Any of the renewable energy sources: (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen).


What are some renewable sources for electricity energy?

The main renewable sources of energy to generate electricity are:hydropower (use of water from rivers, dams, tides and ocean waves)wind energy (using wind turbines)solar power (using the power of the sun to heat water or produce electricity)geothermal (using the heat deep under the earth's crust)ocean Thermal (using surface heat and deep cold water)biofuel (producing ethanol from organic material like switch-grass, corn and sugar cane husks)See the Related Questions links for more information about each of these methods of producing energy.*Strictly speaking an energy source is not 'renewable' if you mean "can humanity restore it?", as it must with trees, for example.Geothermal, for example, 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 possible to use a geothermal resource to capacity locally. One example is in the geothermal area of Rotorua, New Zealand, where too many thermal bores resulted in the decline of the geysers that were a tourist attraction. This has since been addressed by controls on the bores in the area, and the geysers are performing as before.Heat or light from the sun, wind (turns turbines which produce electricity), and water (the power of the flow turns turbines which produce electricity).wind, tidal, geothermal and hydroelectricity

What does wave energy power?

Wave power produces renewable energy, that is, electricity. This is the same electricity that we use every day, so wave power can power our heaters, coolers, electric cars, trains and planes and everything that runs on electricity.

What could the US use renewable energy for?

The US could use renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass and biofuel) to replace every coal-fired power station in the country. After that it could replace every oil-fired power plant. Then every gas powered. Then every nuclear powered. Renewable energy is now tried and tested and it can provide baseline power all round the clock.


What are energy transformations in a tidal wave power station?

There are no tidal wave power stations.Tidal waves are unpredictable. There is no way at present to capture their energy. We can capture the energy of tides and also of waves, but not of tidal waves.
