Question

From the following, identify the renewable source(s) of energy.

1. Wood
2. Coal
3. Wind
4. Petrol
5. Water
6. Uranium
7. Volcano

Answer 1

The renewable source(s) of energy from the given list are:

1. Wood (Renewable)
2. Coal (Non-renewable)
3. Wind (Renewable)
4. Petrol (Non-renewable)
5. Water (Renewable)
6. Uranium (Non-renewable)
7. Volcano (Renewable)

Wood, wind, water, and volcano are renewable sources of energy because they are not going to be exhausted in a finite interval of time. A volcano is a source of geothermal energy which is also considered renewable.

However, uranium and fossil fuels like coal and petrol are not renewable as they are available in limited amounts in nature or could easily be exhausted from over-usage.
