2 answers:
Answer:
C. Wind
<h2>Options:</h2>A. Oil
Definition: Any of a large class of substances typically unctuous viscous, combustible, liquid at ordinary temperatures, and soluble in either or alcohol but not in water: used for anointing, perfuming, lubricating, illuminating, heating, etc.
B. Natural Gas
Definition: A combustible mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons that accumulates in porous sedimentary rocks, especially those yielding petroleum, consisting usually of over 80 percent methane together with minor amounts of ethane, propane, butane, nitrogen, and sometimes, helium: used as fuel and to make carbon black, acetylene, and synthesis gas.
C. Wind (Answer)
Definition: The horizontal movement of air from an area of high pressure to an area of lower pressure.
D. Coal
Definition: A black or dark-brown combustible mineral substance consisting of carbonized vegetable matter, used a a fuel.
<h3>What is the meaning of non-renewable resources?</h3>⇒ A non-renewable resource (also known as a finite resource) is one that does not regenerate itself at a sufficient pace to support long-term economic exploitation in meaningful human time frames. Carbon-based, biologically generated fuel is one example. With the use of heat and pressure, the original biological substance is converted into a fuel such as oil or gas. Earth minerals and metal ores, fossil fuels (coal, petroleum, natural gas), and groundwater in certain aquifers are all considered nonrenewable resources, despite the fact that individual constituents are virtually always maintained.
<h3>What are renewable sources of energy?</h3>⇒ Renewable resources simply indicate that the source of the resource (usually, an energy source) may be regenerated and is not depleted.
Strictly speaking, nothing is truly renewable, because even the sun will eventually use up all of its hydrogen fuel and become a bloated red giant star before blowing away most of its mass and dying as a dim red dwarf star, but as long as you are not looking at a cosmological time scale, solar energy is the focal point.
The only non-solar energy we utilize comes from nuclear power plants. Coal, oil, and gas are all forms of solar energy since they were created through the photosynthesis process, which is fueled by sunshine. However, there are two issues with these energy sources. Because we are not synthesising replacement fuel, using them is equivalent to living off your collected savings, and the act of burning them contributes to extra CO2 in our atmosphere, which is disrupting the planet's thermal balance.
Solar panels, wind turbines, hydroelectric plants, and other similar devices are all powered directly or indirectly by solar energy, which is continually replenished by the sun's activity. These energy sources will persist as long as we have a functioning star and an atmosphere, and if we lose either, we're dead regardless. Geothermal is theoretically not renewable because it extracts heat from the Earth's core and cannot be restored. It is, however, a clean energy source since, unlike the combustion of hydrocarbons, it produces no pollutants.
<h3>How is wind a renewable energy source?</h3>⇒ It is renewable in the sense that nothing is destroyed in the process of releasing energy.
The wind is created by atmospheric circumstances, and because it is continually churning and will continue to be as long as the Sun shines, there is a constant supply without the need to burn anything.
However, you cannot consume all of the wind's energy. The highest amount of energy that may be extracted is around 60%. (Betz Principle). They don't even come close.
