Renewable forms of energy are sources that can be replenished quickly and easily. These include plants, the sun, wind, water, etc. Non-renewable forms of energy aren't easily replenished. For example coal is formed over millions of years. Even though there might be more deposits of coal unfound which we can mine to replenish our stock, coal is non-renewable.

What are some strengths of geothermal?
Geothermal energy is considered a renewable energy source. Which means that, unlike the fossil fuels we rely on for energy, we can continue to use geothermal without having to be concerned that we will run out of energy. In terms of electricity generation, a geothermal power plant will emit only about 1% of the carbon dioxide that a fossil fuel powered plant would produce to generate the same amount of electricity. Although this may not be as good as solar or wind powered forms of electricity generation, geothermal does have the advantage of being able to produce a steady supply of electricity 24/7, something that most renewable energy sources can't.
How does solar power help the earth?
Without our daily fix of solar energy, the Earth would soon approach the temperature of space - not a pleasant prospect. You have to only consider how much it cools down on a single winter night to have your answer. If your question concerns technical systems that usefully convert solar energy to other forms; solar water heating, photo-voltaic energy, etc; then we are at the dawn of using this energy source more usefully. In doing so, we displace other less effective means of doing the same job. Coal fired energy plants would be an example, as are petroleum powered vehicles.
Does rubber contain energy?
No but if you were to put it out in the sun it would collect energy.
What body of water forms the coast of Maine?
i think it would be the atlantic
What forms of art did Stalin encourage?
listen in class and you would know..
What would not be considered renewable forms of energy?
Burning coal, and nuclear reactors using Pu-239
What would the the benefits if humans used more renewable and inexhaustible forms of energy?
there would be more of what their using and it will never run out Or yo Momma (:
How do you do a project on being against renewable energy?
Renewable energy is a noteworthy goal and hopefully it will be cost effective in the future. To stand against renewable energy just because it is renewable would not be a worthy endeavor.
Why would weather systems be considered a renewable energy?
because it repeats over and over again.
What are 2 sources of non renewable electricity?
no source of energy is actual renewable. Once energy is used entropy keeps it from be reused, this is why we don't have perpetual motion machines. If you want two nor renewable energy source from the political world it would be any resource that once used does not return, and watter. Hydroelectric is considered non renewable (don't know why and I have multiple bachelor degrees in science) fossil fuels (Coal, natural gas, gasoline, diesel, kerosene etc.) wind and solar are both considered renewable.
Is fusion norenewable or renewable?
If it could be done it would be similar to renewable. (it is what the Sun does and Sunlight is looked at as renewable energy).
Is coal renewable energy?
Coal is a NON-renewable energy as when burnt, the Coal combusts, emitting carbon dioxide, among other harmful products. A renewable energy would be wind or tidal or solar energy for example.
What would be the benefits if the humans used more renewable and inexhaustible forms of energy?
there would be more of what their using and it will never run out Or yo Momma (:
Is oil a non renewable resource a renewable resource or a inexhaustible resource?
Oil, the fossil fuel, is a non-renewable resource on human time scales. Vegetable oil is a renewable resource. An inexhaustible resource would be sunlight and a renewable resource would be wind energy and solar energy.
Is hydro renewable nonrenewable or inexhaustible?
As long as the water flows, energy can be generated. It would be renewable.
What is a difference between renewable resources and nonrenewable resources?
The difference between a renewable and a non-renewable resource is generally the timescale over which the resource replenishes. Something would be considered 'renewable' if it replenishes over the same timescale in which it is used. Technically, all our energy resources are theoretically renewable, but fossil fuels replenish at an astronomically slower rate than we use them (they basically represent a form of solar energy from millions of years ago). Solar power and wind are renewable. Hydropower is basically renewable. And geothermal power is considered renewable primarily because at the point at which it is used up, the earth will basically no longer exist as we know it anyway.
What would have to happen if geothermal steam was to be considered a renewable resource?
In order for geothermal steam to be considered a renewable resource, the rate of extraction must not exceed the rate of natural replenishment. This would require careful monitoring of the geothermal reservoir to ensure sustainable use. Additionally, the environmental impacts of geothermal energy extraction would need to be minimized to maintain its renewable status.
