Renewable vs

A renewable resource is a natural source that can replenish with time, such as hydroelectric, geothermal, solar, wind, and tidal energy.

A non-renewable resource is a resource that does not renew itself at a sufficient rate for sustainable economic extraction, like coal, petroleum, natural gas, fossil fuels, minerals, and ores.

Some examples of renewable resources are hydroelectric power, geothermal energy, solar power, wind energy, and tidal power.

<p>The main differences between renewable and non-renewable resources are that renewable resources are inexhaustible, not affected by human activities, release fewer carbon emissions, and are more expensive to implement, while non-renewable resources are present in fixed and limited quantities, exhaustible, release more carbon emissions, and are less expensive to implement.</p> Signup and view all the answers
