Which energy source is inexhaustible?
Biomass is a renewable energy resource derived from human, animal and plant waste. Some examples of biomass are wood, dead plants, animal waste, etc.
What is not an inexhaustible resource?
Coal is not inexhaustible. Coal is a resource that is limited and will eventually get exhausted. Is the air on earth an inexhaustible resource?
Which of the following is not an alternative energy source?
Most non-renewable energy sources are fossil fuels: coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Carbon is the main element in fossil fuels.
What are the types of alternative energy sources?
The most popular renewable energy sources currently are:
- Solar energy.
- Wind energy.
- Hydro energy.
- Tidal energy.
- Geothermal energy.
- Biomass energy.
Which of the following is not an example of inexhaustible resources?
Answer: Natural Resources which are found in limited amount and can be depleted in coming future are called exhaustible Resources. Fossil Fuel is found in the limited amount. The soil is found abundant in nature, hence it’s not the exhaustible natural resource.
Which is not renewable source of energy?
Most non-renewable energy sources are fossil fuels: coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Carbon is the main element in fossil fuels. For this reason, the time period that fossil fuels formed (about 360-300 million years ago) is called the Carboniferous Period. All fossil fuels formed in a similar way.
How are inexhaustible resources different from renewable resources?
Inexhaustible resources can never be exhausted or depleted under any condition of usage while some renewable resources can be exhausted but easily replenished. That is, renewable resources can be exhausted if it is used more than it is supplied while inexhaustible resources will continuously supply even with continuous use.
Which is an example of an alternative source of energy?
Many renewable sources of energy come under the category of alternative sources or non-conventional sources of energy. For example, solar energy, wind energy, wave energy and geothermal energy. The types of alternative sources of energy are explained below:
Is the Sun an inexhaustible natural resource?
The sun produces it every day without a stop and does not show any sign of exhaustion. It is one of the natural resources that has been in use since time immemorial, and yet still looks far underused. No matter how we exploit solar energy, it can’t be exhausted.
Which is the most reliable source of energy?
Nuclear energy is the most reliable source of energy. The fission of one uranium atom produces million times the energy produced by burning one atom of carbon from coal. Nuclear energy is produced by splitting the nucleus of a heavy atom into lighter nuclei.
