Answer 1

Answer:

A. energy obtained from coal --------------> Non Renewable

B. energy obtained from burning plant waste. --------------> Non Renewable

C. energy obtained from water springs inside the Earth. ---------Renewable

D. energy obtained from natural gas.------------Non Renewable

Explanation:

Renewable energy resources are those which can be used again and again. This reuse is possible because either they are present in ample amount or they are produced in a very short span of time.  

While a non-renewable energy resource cannot be used again and again. Also if they are recreated,  they take millions of years which in other way round lead to their depletion.  

Based on the above explanation, the classification is as follows -

A. energy obtained from coal --------------> Non Renewable

B. energy obtained from burning plant waste. --------------> Non Renewable

C. energy obtained from water springs inside the Earth. ---------Renewable

D. energy obtained from natural gas.------------Non Renewable

The energy that can be renewed again and again is known as renewable source of energy. Example : water, sunlight, wind et cetera.

The energy cannot be created again,once destroyed is known as non renewable source of energy.

The energy obtained from coal is non-renewable.

Energy obtained from burning plant waste is renewable

Energy obtained from water spring inside the earth is renewable.

Energy obtained from natural gas is non renewable.
