Detailed explanation-3: -Examples of renewable energy sources include wind power, solar power, bioenergy (organic matter burned as a fuel) and hydroelectric, including tidal energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Renewable resources include biomass energy (such as ethanol), hydropower, geothermal power, wind energy, and solar energy.

Detailed explanation-5: -Renewable resources include the sun, the wind, water, the earth’s heat (geothermal), and biomass. Renewable resources are natural resources that replenish themselves over time or exist on a continual basis.
