Energy sources such as coal, oil, and natural gas were formed millions of years ago from the remains of living organisms that were buried and subjected to heat and pressure over time. Renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydroelectric power are constantly replenished by natural processes such as sunlight, wind, and flowing water.

What do you call energy from a source that are constantly being formed?

Renewable energy sources are those that are constantly being replenished or formed, such as solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass energy. These sources are sustainable and do not deplete over time.

Where does energy originates from?

Energy originates from various sources such as the sun, which provides solar energy, as well as the Earth's core, which produces geothermal energy. Other sources include fossil fuels formed from organic matter, nuclear reactions, and the movement of wind and water.


What is the origin of non-renewable energy sources including how energy can be trapped in these sources?

Non-renewable energy sources like fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) are formed over millions of years from decayed organic matter trapped in the Earth's crust. The energy in these sources comes from the sun's energy, which plants absorbed through photosynthesis and then converted into chemical energy. This stored energy is released when the fossil fuels are burned for heating, electricity generation, and transportation.

Is energy resource or nonrenewable?

Energy can be both a resource and nonrenewable. Renewable energy sources such as sunlight and wind are resources that can be naturally replenished. Nonrenewable energy sources like fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) are finite and formed over millions of years, making them nonrenewable.
