How does solar energy conserve a natural resource?

Answered by Callie
I thought the sun, but maybe d?
Answered by Ms. Sue
We don't need to conserve (save) either sun or wind.

Answered by Callie
Oh, A?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Coal is a natural, nonrenewable resource.
Answered by callie
So the answer is a since its natural?
Answered by Brady
Well, some natural resources are: "air, water, wood, oil, wind energy, hydro-electric energy, iron, and coal". ~Wiki-pedia

^ This has several of the resources said above in the answer selection above.

With the question, what do they want for a resource? A renewable resource, or a nonrenewable resource?

With Ms. Sue's comment about we don't need to "conserve (save) either sun or wind", it leaves A or C as possible answers. However, when you burn something, it doesn't really conserve that resource, so I don't think A is the answer.

So, I have to go with C as the answer. Also, when you think about it, have you ever heard that turning off lights when not in use, conserves energy(or electricity) as well?

I hope this helps! :)

P.S. Sorry about me not being on to help, my mind was distracted with my own schoolwork.

That wasn't me writing it was my sister I swear. I told her to stop.
Answered by callie
She said she won't do it no more I promise I locked the door.
Answered by Brady
Is that why your name keeps on having a lower case at the beginning? Or...? I got kind of confused to if it was you or not, so I went with it because I didn't know.
Answered by callie
No I put both too but I don't want to get in trouble she just copied me. About the gf. I was talking to her and she wrote when I wasn't looking. That's all for now
Answered by Brady
Oh, okay. That solves most of my confusion.

Also, I have to go now, because my mom says to log off. So I am really sorry. My Thanksgiving week long(plus some extra days) break is going to start when I log off. My mom says I am going to be busy throughout the entire break, so I believe I may not be able to come onto here. I will probably help you more in December.
