Answer : The correct answer is A. Nuclear reactors using Pu-239

B. burning coal

The sources which are not renewable are known as "non- renewable sources of energy .

Non - renewable sources are those which get expired after rapid use and can never be reproduced . These sources replenishes in very long time . Examples : Coal , petrol or fuels etc .

1) Nuclear reactors using Pu-239 : Nuclear reactors uses radioactive elements like uranium , plutonium etc , which are present in limit . after frequent use of these elements , they will vanish off , Hence we can say nuclear reactors are Non renewable source of energy .

2) Burning coal : Coal is used as one of the major source of fuel . On rapid utilization of coal they will finished from earth . It takes thousand of year for formation of coal . Hence , it is a Non -renewable source .

3) Photo-voltaic cell: These are cells which used solar energy . Solar energy is obtained from sun . Hence solar energy is renewable source of energy so is the photo voltaic cell .

4) Geothermal energy : Geothermal energy is source of energy that is extracted from earth's thermal energy . Since thermal energy of earth is present in very large amount and can be reproduced , hence it renewable source of energy .

5)Wind energy : Wind energy is source of energy that is obtained from wind. And wind is renewable source so the wine energy too .

Consequently , we can say only two of them " Nuclear reactors and burning of coal " are Non renewable force of energy .

A large deposit of bauxite a mineral containing aluminium was found in your community. The deposit crosses a nature preserve. A
Sophie [7]

Explanation:

One positive impact of the mining is that the sale of the Bauxite will increase their economic power by bringing in foreign exchange into their economy. This will improve services such as healthcare and infrastructure.

A negative impact is the destruction of the nature preserve and disturbing the ecosystem could lead to a devastating loss in biodiversity. A decrease in biodiversity will increase crop pests and diseases that destroy standing crops, and an increase in the prevalence of diseases in the community.

Answer:

I don't know if this is right but try it. The amount of water vapor in the air is called absolute humidity. The amount of water vapor in the air as compared with the amount of water that the air could hold is called relative humidity. This amount of space in air that can hold water changes depending on the temperature and pressure.
