The main difference of renewable and non-renewable resources lies in the capacity of the environment to replenish itself. Renewable resources are resources that can be easily replenished by the environment over a short period of time, while non-renewable resources take more time. 

Examples of renewable resources are solar energy, harnessing the sun's power that shines day to day. Wind energy that exists naturally is also a renewable source. Geothermal energy, heat coming from the center of the Earth, and Biofuels, fuels made from living organisms, are all renewable energy.

Non-renewable energy resources are the fuels we use in our cars, minerals from the soil, coal, among others are supplies that also come from Earth. These are all materials that might take a long time (probably millions of years) to be fully restored.

Renewable: Produced by nature faster than humans can consume it.

Non Renewable: Produced by nature more slowly than humans can consume it.

Example of renewable is:
wind power, solar energy, ect

Example of none renewable is:
burning coal, fracking, etc

Does heating a cup of water allow it to dissolve more sugar? Tempature if the water is measured in degrees centigrade. Amount of

HACTEHA [7]

The changing quantities in an experiment are called variables. A variable refers to any trait, factor, or a condition, which can prevail in distinct amounts or kinds. An experiment generally exhibits three kinds of variables: independent, dependent, and controlled.

The independent variable refers to the one, which is modified. On the other hand, the dependent variable is implied to observe that how it reacts with the change made to the independent variable. The controlled variables refer to the quantities, which one wants to remain constant.

In the given case, that is, heating a cup of water to witness that whether the sugar will get more easily dissolve. In this, the independent variable refers to the temperature of the water determined in degrees Centigrade. The dependent variable refers to the amount of sugar, which dissolves completely measured in grams.

In this, the controlled variables are stirring and type of sugar. As more stirring might elevate the amount of sugar that dissolves, and different kind of sugars might dissolve in distinct concentrations. So, in order to make sure a fair test, there is a need to keep these variables similar for each cup of water.

joja [24]

Answer:

There are many types of evidence which support the theory of evolution such as comparative anatomy, fossil records, phylogenetic relationship, embryology et cetera

Comparative anatomy includes homologous organs and analogous organs. They support divergent and convergent evolution respectively.

For example, the homologous structure of limb of humans, birds, bat, horse, whale et cetera show that they are made up of the same set of bones which are humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges.

It shows divergent evolution and supports that these organisms have evolved from a common ancestor.

Embryological evidence: When early stages of embryological development of different organisms are compared, it is found that these stages are similar at different levels of development.

For example:

The appearance of pharyngeal-arch (gill-like structures) in vertebrates during embryo development.
Salamanders and terrestrial frogs pass through larval stages within an egg. They possess the features similar to aquatic larvae, however, when they hatched out the eggs being ready for life on land.
