Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding the concept of renewable resources. Renewable resources are those that can be replenished naturally over short periods of time and are sustainable for long-term use.
Consider the options given: Coal, Solar energy, Uranium, and Natural gas. Evaluate each based on whether they can be replenished naturally and sustainably.
Coal is a fossil fuel formed from ancient plant material over millions of years. It is not renewable because it takes a very long time to form and is consumed faster than it can be replenished.
Uranium is a heavy metal used as fuel in nuclear reactors. It is not renewable because it is mined from the earth and cannot be replenished naturally.
Solar energy is derived from the sun, which is a constant and inexhaustible source of energy. It is considered renewable because it is naturally replenished every day and does not deplete over time.
