Detailed explanation-1: -What characteristic do all renewable resources share? Form from the remains of plants or animals. May be used up in the near future.
Detailed explanation-2: -Renewable resources are natural resources that can be replaced in a relatively short period of time or are virtually limitless in supply. In addition to wind, renewable energy resources include sunlight, moving water, biomass, and geothermal energy. All of these resources are freely available and won’t run out.
Detailed explanation-3: -The term “renewable” is generally applied to those energy resources and technologies whose common characteristic is that they are non-depletable or naturally replenishable.
Detailed explanation-4: -Renewable resources include biomass energy (such as ethanol), hydropower, geothermal power, wind energy, and solar energy. Biomass refers to organic material from plants or animals. This includes wood, sewage, and ethanol (which comes from corn or other plants).
Detailed explanation-5: -Renewable resources can be replaced as quickly as they are used. The difference between nonrenewable and renewable resources is like the difference between ordinary batteries and rechargeable ones. Rechargeable batteries are renewable because they can be refilled with energy.
