Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the definition of renewable resources: Renewable resources are natural resources that can be replenished naturally over time and are sustainable in the long term.
Identify the characteristics of each option: Coal, Hydroelectric power, Wind energy, and Solar energy.
Analyze Coal: Coal is a fossil fuel that forms over millions of years from the remains of plants and animals. It is not replenished on a human timescale, making it a non-renewable resource.
Analyze Hydroelectric power: This is generated by harnessing the energy of flowing water, which is continuously replenished by the water cycle, making it a renewable resource.
Analyze Wind and Solar energy: Both are derived from natural processes that are continuously replenished. Wind energy comes from air flow, and solar energy comes from sunlight, both of which are renewable resources.
