EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -Renewable energy is energy derived from natural sources that are replenished at a higher rate than they are consumed. Sunlight and wind, for example, are such sources that are constantly being replenished. Renewable energy sources are plentiful and all around us.

Detailed explanation-2: -Renewable Energy Sources: Energy sources that can be replenished over and over again; they are never depleted. Some examples include hydropower, solar, wind, tidal, geothermal energy from inside the earth, biomass from plants, and nuclear fusion.

Detailed explanation-3: -Renewable resources include solar energy, wind, falling water, the heat of the earth (geothermal), plant materials (biomass), waves, ocean currents, temperature differences in the oceans and the energy of the tides.

Detailed explanation-4: -Renewable energy comes from natural sources, like wind, sunlight, rain, tides, and geothermal energy (the heat produced inside the Earth). Non-renewable energy sources include coal, oil, and natural gas. Water is renewable because the water cycle is continually recycling itself.

Detailed explanation-5: -Energy from water is considered a renewable energy because it uses the Earth’s water cycle and gravitational pull to generate electricity. It also does not emit greenhouse gas emissions or air pollutants.
