Detailed explanation-1: -Renewable resources can regenerate if they are alive or be replenished by biochemical cycles if they are nonliving. Theoretically, there is an “infinite” amount of these resources. Water, sunlight, plants, animals and wind are examples of renewable resources.

Detailed explanation-2: -A renewable resource is a resource that can be replenished naturally over time. As a result, it is sustainable despite its consumption by humankind. Renewable resources are considered especially important for their potential to replace non-renewable, or finite, resources in the production of energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Renewable resources include biomass energy (such as ethanol), hydropower, geothermal power, wind energy, and solar energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Renewable resources are natural resources that can be regenerated or replaced by ecological processes on a relevant timescale. They include biological resources such as biomass, plants, and animals.

Detailed explanation-5: -Resources are characterized as renewable or nonrenewable; a renewable resource can replenish itself at the rate it is used, while a nonrenewable resource has a limited supply. Renewable resources include timber, wind, and solar while nonrenewable resources include coal and natural gas.
