What is the energy resource that extracts heat from rocks?

Geothermal energy is the energy resource that extracts heat from rocks beneath the Earth's surface to generate electricity or provide heating and cooling for buildings. This renewable energy source takes advantage of the natural heat stored in the Earth's crust.


Is rock a renewable resource?

No, rock is not a renewable resource because it takes millions of years for rocks to form through geological processes. Once rocks are mined or extracted, they cannot be easily replaced within a human lifetime.


Is solar energy a natural resource or not?

No Renewable energy is energy that is replaceable at a reasonable rate for example coal is replaceable but it takes to long to replace it. wind is because it is so replaceable that we dont need to replace it. Solar energy is for the same reason as wind. In most cases Natural resources are the equivalent of renewable resources but not always.


Which energy source is formed when organic matter is trapped underground without exposure to air and moisture?

Natural gas is formed when organic matter is trapped underground without exposure to air and moisture. The transformation process typically takes millions of years and involves high pressure and heat.


What is the point underground where earthquake's movement first takes place is called the?

The point underground where an earthquake's movement first takes place is called the focus or hypocenter. This is the initial location where the seismic waves originate and spread outwards through the Earth.

Does stress takes energy out of rock?

No, stress is a force that adds energy to rocks.


Where does metamorphism most take place?

Most metamorphism takes place deep underground, where high heat and pressure change the rocks, since both increase with depth.


What is a nonrenewable resourse?

A nonrenewable resource is a resource that cannot be produced nearly fast enough to replace what is used. for example: oil is a nonrenewable resource because it takes thousands- even millions- of years to form underground.

What is the difference between land erosion and underground erosion?

Land erosion is making pieces of rock to break of.Underground erosion is that water goes in the underground and takes all of the pieces of rocks that forms a cave.


Is an aluminum can an energy resource?

No, but an aluminum can can be recycled using much less energy than it takes to separate an equivalent amount of aluminum from its ore.


Where does metamorphism take place?

Most metamorphism takes place deep underground, where high heat and pressure change the rocks, since both increase with depth.


Is solar energy a quick forming renewable resource or a slow forming resource?

Solar energy is a slow-forming renewable resource. It takes many Earth years for helium and hydrogen to worm its way through the sun's matter. After that, heat and energy must travel approximately 93 million miles to reach eArth's atmosphere.


Is oil energy considered a renewable source of energy?

No, oil energy is not considered a renewable source of energy because it is a finite resource that takes millions of years to form and cannot be easily replenished within a human lifetime.


What type of energy resource is solar energy?

Solar energy takes the form of radiation. Solar panels may allow this solar energy to be converted to heat or to electricity. (Electricity is not a fuel or even energy: it is a means of transferring energy).
