Is alcohol renewable or non-renewable?
Alcohol is not considered a renewable or non-renewable resource. This is because alcohol is not a raw substance harvested from the Earth.
What is a non renewable resorce?
a non-renewable resorce can't be renewed and in the future it will be harder for us to live non-renewable resorces are coal petrleum and natural gas.
What does US have to offer?
resoureces with a lot of all and mining
Which sources of energy is the US dependent on?
Renewable means it can be used again; recycled (such as paper). Non-renewable means that it cannot be used again (such as gasoline). The US is dependent on non-renewable resources.
Where does the US get money to buy non renewable resources?
CHINA!! =((
Why are renewable energy sources needed?
Because if we use renewable sources, it's with us forever. fossil fuels and non-renewable sources will run out someday.
How are renewable resources important to us?
by using renewable resources we can save the environment. Most of the time non-renewable resources are bad for the environment by destroying the ozone. gas and coal are examples of non-renewable resources. another reason renewable resources are better is because they are well, renewable. that way we can never run out. examples would be hydroelectric, solar, and wind power
Is water a renewable or non-renewable?
Water us a renewable resource because of the water cycle. The water that you use will eventually evaporate and then condence. From there it will couse precipitation and come back to you again as a liquid, and thus the water cycle was born.renewable
Can people die from non renewable source?
Yes. Exhaust fumes resulting from burning non-renewable resources (oil, gas, coal) are very harmful to most living beings. According to some studies, 200,000 people die each year in the US alone due to air pollution, being vehicle emissions the largest contributor to these premature deaths.
How are you explain non renewable resources and renewable resources?
Two typical examples are Oil and Solar power. There will come a time when the oil reserves will run out - making it a non-renewable source of power. Solar power on the other hand will be available as long as the sun continues to provide us with energy. The sun's energy is a continuing thermal 'cycle' turning hydrogen into helium, and back to hydrogen.
Why is electricity non-renewable?
Electricity itself is not inherently renewable or non-renewable; it depends on the source used to generate it. However, most electricity is currently generated using fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas, which are considered non-renewable because they are finite resources that take a long time to replenish. Renewable sources, such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power, are considered sustainable because they are naturally replenished over a relatively short period of time.
What do you think are the barriers that are preventing the US from utilizing more renewable energy source?
Cost, reliability, portability. Sometimes renewable energy is more expensive than non-renewable. Reliable- sun does not always shine, wind does not always blow. Portable- a wind turbine cannot power a car or truck- but gasoline will.
