ALL renewable energy depends on the sun for its power and existence EXCEPT geothermal, which is heat from below the ground.
- Solar power (direct from the sun)
- Hydro (water from the water cycle which is powered by the sun)
- Wave and tidal (gravitational forces caused by the moon and the sun)
- Biofuel (vegetation etc that needs the sun to grow)

∙ 7y agosolar energy can be used to generate electricity, hot water, or the heat can be stored under ground for later recover and use.

How is electricity or heat made form renewable energy?
Okay, so renewable energy is basically energy that can be used again, and is an endless resource; the opposite to things like coal which are burnt- full stop. Solar panels can transform sunlight (renewable energy) into electricity, wind turbines can transform wind power into electricity and dams can do the same with hydraulic power I think. Electricity can be turned into heat in turn, or heat can be found directly from the sun, a renewable energy source. I hope this helps!
Is the energy source renewable or nonrenewable or inexhaustible?
all renewable energy resources (water falls, solar, wind, ...)a recource that winll not run out is wind water and elementsWind.
Which of the following is not a renewable energy source solar energy wind energy geothermal energy fossil fuels?
Fossil Fuels. The sun, wind and heat from the earth core is continuously being produced. Fossil Fuels were created over a long period of time and required a lot of heat and pressure to be created which is why they are not considered to be renewable.
Is heat non-renewable?
That is dependent on how it is produced. Heat produced by burning fossil fuels in not renewable, but heat from concentrated solar is renewable.
What is meant by renewable and non-renewable energy?
"Renewable energy is energy which comes from natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, and geothermal heat, which are renewable (naturally replenished).""A non-renewable resource is a natural resource which cannot be produced, grown, generated, or used on a scale which can sustain its consumption rate. These resources often exist in a fixed amount, or are consumed much faster than nature can create them."A:non-renewable energy is energy that can only be used once eg. (coal, oil, natural, gas, uranium etc) renewable energy is energy that can be used over and over eg. (solar power, wind power etc)A:its what energy will not be finished in the time to come. when a source is present in abundance/plenty, it is known as renewable energy such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, and geothermal heat and A non-renewable resource is a natural resource which cannot be produced, grown, generated, or used on a scale which can sustain its consumption rate, once depleted there is no more available for future needs.
A short answer to why is geothermal a renewable resource?
Geothermal energy is renewable because it is using heat for the earths "core" and water (turned to steam by the heat) to power steam turbines. Both the heat and water are renewable resources thus geothermal energy is renewable.
What is ment by renewable energy?
Renewable energy is energy generated from natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, and geothermal heat, which are renewable (naturally replenished).
What is solar energy about?
It is renewable It uses wasted heat and light energy
Is heat a renewable source of energy?
heat coming from where? heat from a fire isnt, heat from the sun is.
Does renewable energy have any harmful gases?
" Renewable energy is energy which comes from natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, and geothermal heat, which are renewable(naturally replenished)." - Wikipedia.So no, renewable energy has no harmful gases whatsoever.
What is good about solar energy?
It is renewable It uses wasted heat and light energy
What are types of renewable ressources?
solar energy wind energy and geothermal heat
Which renewable resource is least dependent on the sun?
Geothermal energy is renewable, as the heat from the center of the earth will be available as long as we ever need it. This energy is the only renewable energy that does NOT come from the sun.
What energy source is heat fromEarth's interior?
It is renewable source
Why is heat energy of the earth renewable?
It's not going to run out.
What could be energy possibility 20 years from now?
We can continue using petroleum, if used somewhat carefully. Other than that, renewable energy options come to mind, such as solar energy, wind energy, hydraulic energy, heat from inside the Earth, etc.
What type of energy involve in work and heat?
Work is simply the transfer of energy. Heat energy is also known as thermal energy.
