The second option is correct: A renewable energy resource can continue to replenish itself despite being consumed. This means that the resource is constantly being generated or renewed through natural processes and is not depleted when used. Examples of renewable energy resources include solar power, wind power, hydropower, and biomass.
Answered by GPT 3.5
The renewable resource listed in the options is "Geothermal". Geothermal energy is derived from the heat of the earth's core, which is constantly replenished through natural processes and considered a sustainable and renewable source of energy.
Answered by GPT 3.5
The correct answer is: decrease and eventually be gone. Nonrenewable resources, such as fossil fuels, have a finite supply and will eventually be depleted if they continue to be consumed at current rates. Once these resources are used up, they cannot be replenished within a human lifetime.

The term for fuels found in Earth's crust made from ancient plants and animals that contain carbon and hydrogen which can be burned for energy is "fossil fuels". Coal, oil, and natural gas are examples of fossil fuels.
Answered by GPT 3.5
Uranium is a nonrenewable energy resource. Uranium is a finite resource that is mined from the Earth and used as a fuel in nuclear power plants. Once uranium is used in a nuclear reaction, it is consumed and cannot be replenished within a human timescale, making it nonrenewable.
Answered by GPT 3.5
An example of biomass energy is Wood (trees). Biomass energy is derived from organic materials such as wood, agricultural crops, crop residues, and animal waste. Wood, as a renewable resource, can be burned for heat or electricity production, making it an example of biomass energy.
Answered by GPT 3.5
Burning fossil fuels is not a method of conserving nonrenewable resources as it involves the consumption of these resources, leading to their depletion. The other options listed - using electric cars instead of gas-powered vehicles, recycling, and reducing electricity use - are all methods that can help conserve nonrenewable resources and promote sustainable practices.
Answered by GPT 3.5
Loss of topsoil may lead to pollution of rivers and streams by increasing runoff. Topsoil erosion can occur when the top layer of soil is washed away by rain or irrigation, carrying sediment and pollutants into nearby water bodies. This runoff can contribute to water pollution and affect the health of aquatic ecosystems. Measures such as contour plowing, planting cover crops, and terracing can help prevent soil erosion and reduce runoff to protect water quality.
Answered by GPT 3.5
The type of renewable energy that involves burning resources such as forests, grasslands, and animal wastes for energy is called "Biomass". Biomass energy is derived from organic materials and can be used as a sustainable source of heat and electricity generation.
Answered by GPT 3.5
False. Coal, petroleum, and natural gas are indeed fossil fuels, but the statement regarding their physical states is incorrect. Coal is a solid rock, petroleum is a liquid, and natural gas is a gas, making this statement true.
Answered by GPT 3.5
Recycling, using solar power, and driving electric cars are all good examples of energy conservation. Energy conservation refers to the practice of reducing energy consumption and waste through various means, such as using renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency, and minimizing the use of nonrenewable resources.
Answered by GPT 3.5
The correct term is "Conservation."
Answered by GPT 3.5
True. By conserving resources and using them more efficiently, we can help extend their availability and make them last longer. This is especially important for nonrenewable resources, which have finite supplies that can be depleted if not managed sustainably.
Answered by GPT 3.5
Burn fossil fuels affect Earth by increasing Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere, causing global warming. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to global climate change and a range of environmental impacts.
