What is the key difference between renewable and non-renewable resources?

Non-renewable resources exist in limited quantities; renewable resources replenish

Non-renewable resources exist in unlimited quantities; renewable resources don't.

Non-renewable resources must be refined before humans can use them; renewable resources don't

They come from energy sources that never run out.

They can generate power by burning wastes.

They increase the amount of greenhouse gases.

They produce large amounts of energy from burning fuels.

Why is petroleum considered to be a nonrenewable resource?

It requires a very long period of time to form.

It constantly forms within Earth.

It is difficult to obtain and transport.

It releases harmful chemicals when burned.

When looking for a location to build a dam to generate hydroelectric power, a necessary requirement for turning the blades of the turbine to generate power is

access to the heat in the Earth

Oil formation starts when organisms in the ocean die and then

settle to the bottom, buried, and undergo intense heat and pressure

decay completely so that their matter is recycled

are carried by currents all over the planet

get eaten by larger organisms that receive their energy
