Renewable Energy

Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, are non-renewable sources of energy. Once they are extracted and burned, they cannot be replaced on a human timescale.

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.

Yes, the correct spelling is "non-renewable." The hyphen is used to connect the prefix "non" with the root word "renewable" to indicate that something is not renewable.

Renewable energy resources can be used in various applications where fossil fuels are currently used, such as electricity generation, heating and cooling systems, transportation, and industrial processes. Examples of renewable energy sources include solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, and biomass energy. Transitioning to these renewable sources can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and minimize environmental impact.

Yes, both the sun and wind are renewable resources because they are naturally replenished. Solar energy is harnessed through solar panels that capture sunlight, while wind energy is captured using wind turbines. These sources of energy are sustainable and do not deplete over time.

Source documents are important so we can see what was really happening during any one period of time. If we relay on second hand accounts, we will take on the biases of the authors.

Renewable origination in terms of energy refers to the process of generating electricity from sources that are naturally replenished and sustainable, such as sunlight, wind, and water. These sources do not deplete over time and have lower environmental impacts compared to fossil fuels, making them important for transitioning to a more sustainable energy system.

What might seem renewable, is not necessarily an endless supply. We may consider wood is a renewable resource, but if we cut down trees and don't plant new ones, we can start to run out of this resource. Also, if we are planting sugar cane so we can make biofuel, we will need fertilizer which comes from phosphates and potassium, minerals that are not renewable minerals. So, our supply of biofuels can go down as we use up these minerals.

2 ways, in a solar collector the sun is concetrated to a focal point like burning things with a magnifying glass, witch is used to boil the water into steam and used to drive the generator. in a photo voltaic system heat is generated through resistance and is useless for the most part.

Concordia University in Austin, Texas. 100% positive.

Renewable energy sources can be replenished naturally and are considered sustainable in the long term, examples include solar, wind, and hydroelectric power. Nonrenewable energy sources are finite and can be depleted over time, examples include oil, coal, and natural gas. Inexhaustible energy sources are those that exist in such abundance that they will never run out, examples include solar and wind energy.

Yes and no. There is a design for shoes containing a small piezoelectric pad under the heel that generates a tiny pulse of current with every step. It's not very much power, not even enough to power a cell phone (it could handle a watch). However, I don't believe there are any mass produced models on the market anywhere.

Hydropower has experienced a decline in recent years due to factors such as droughts affecting water availability and environmental concerns surrounding dam construction impacting new projects.

Advantages- With some batteries you are able to recharge them which means that you buy them at a low cost, to then be able to continuosly use them. They are easy to get hold of as you can by them from pretty much any shop and also you can use electrical appliances where ever you are. Can be used for all sort of things. Disadvantages-Some don't hold a lot of power so you have to get rid of them.

When you get rid of them they contribute to landfill and the acid inside of it pollutes the earth. While you can recharge them they come to an end and these recharge-able batteries comewith a heftier price tag

Non-renewable sources are finite resources that cannot be replenished within a human lifetime, such as fossil fuels like oil and coal. Renewable sources are resources that can be naturally replenished over time, such as sunlight, wind, and water.

Gasoline is a nonrenewable fossil fuel because it is derived from crude oil, a finite resource that takes millions of years to form. Once extracted and burned, gasoline cannot be easily replaced or replenished within a human lifetime.

The newest forms of renewable energy include work with solar energy, hydrogen as well as work with harnessing the power of the ocean waves. Renewable energy technology is incredibly important in solving our energy crisis.

When it comes to generating heat, the sun is undoubtedly a powerful source. However, unlike other sources of heat such as fire or electricity, the sun's heat cannot be stored or reused once it's gone. This is because the sun's heat is generated by nuclear fusion reactions that occur deep within the sun's core. As a result, the heat generated by the sun is a constant and ongoing process, and once it's gone, it's gone for good. While we can certainly harness the sun's heat through various technologies such as solar panels, we cannot reuse the heat generated by the sun once it has dissipated.

Any energy we can replant or create more of as fast or faster then we consume. Ethanol from corn and switch grass are two examples.

Wind, water and solar are not renewable but are alternatives to fossil fuels, as is nuclear.

Wind energy is advantageous for its scalability and reliability as a consistent energy source. Wind turbines can be built both onshore and offshore, not requiring large areas of land like solar farms. Additionally, wind energy has a lower environmental impact compared to other energy sources as it produces no greenhouse gas emissions during operation.

A non-renewable source of energy is a resource that cannot be replenished in a short period of time, such as fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas. Once these resources are used up, they are gone for good, making them unsustainable in the long term.

No, but for all intents and purposes, it is limitless.

Also, it releases no greenhouse gases and the only nuclear waste is the parts of the reactor itself.

It's not actually limitless, but its fuels are so abundant/easy to synthesise we would never be able to completely use them up.

Wind power is considered renewable because it relies on the natural and continuous movement of air masses caused by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun. As long as the sun continues to shine, wind energy will be available. Additionally, wind turbines do not consume any finite resources and produce no greenhouse gas emissions during operation.

No. Temperature is measured in degrees celsius. Thermal energy, which causes temperature change, is measured in calories or british thermal units. A calorie, not a food calorie, is the amount of heat necessary to raise 1 ml of water 1 degree celsius. 252 calories = 1 btu. 1 food calorie is actually equivalent to 1000 calories of heat.
