Answer:

Explanation:

Earthquakes are normally caused by underground rock breaking along a fault line. The seismic waves that cause the earth to shake are caused by this sudden release of energy. The plates or blocks of rock begin to move during and after the earthquake, and they continue to move until they become trapped again. As fluid near the center heats up, convection currents develop within the Earth's mantle. Particles pass more quickly as the core heats the bottom layer of mantle material, lowering its density and allowing it to rise. The convection current is started by the growing material.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The basic oxide is an oxide-forming a base solution.

These oxides are mainly from group 1 alkaline and group 2-alkaline earth

If this oxide is dissolved in water it will form an alkaline solution

LO + H₂O --> L(OH)₂ ---> alkaline earth

L₂O + H₂O --> LOH --> alkaline

So the basic oxides : Na₂O and MgO

Na₂O + H₂O --> NaOH (sodium hydroxide, strong base)

MgO + H₂O --> Mg(OH)₂ (magnesium hydroxide, strong base)

The aqueous solution of CO₂ , obtained by dissolving CO₂ in water

CO₂ + H₂O --> H₂CO₃ (carbonic acid)

In general, basic oxide is obtained from metal oxide, while acid oxide is obtained from non-metal oxide

Studentka2010 [4]

The answer is C) Nuclear.

The answer is C because, Renewable resources are something that can be re-used over and over again. Then Nonrenewable resources can't be made right away once it's been used. That being said, the answer is C.

A) Geothermal can be reused, which makes it renewable.

B) Solar can also be reused, which makes it renewable.
