Solution

Renewable resource:

  1. Some the examples of renewable resources of energy include biomass energy (such as ethanol), hydropower, geothermal power, wind energy, and solar energy.
  2. Organic materials that we obtain from plants or animals are referred to as biomass.
  3. This consists of ethanol, sewage, and wood (which comes from corn or other plants).

Water as a renewable resource:

  1. As water evaporates from the Earth's surface, it gathers in the atmosphere and returns to the Earth as rain.
  2. Surface water refills groundwater, and groundwater replaces surface water on Earth.
  3. Water is a renewable resource when properly managed and used responsibly.
  4. Water circulates in nature in numerous states of matter, including liquid, vapour, and ice.
  5. As a result, the water that evaporates returns to the earth in the form of rain.
  6. As a result, water becomes a renewable resource.
