Question

compare renewable and nonrenewable energy sources and discuss the effects of each on biodiversity?

Answer 1

Answer 5

but it takes many years before plants and dead animals become fossil fuel.

Answer 6

is this correct?

Answer 7

Renewable sources can be renewed, of course, meaning we can keep on using it without having to explore for more. Non-renewable cannot be renewed, forcing us to keep exploring and usually deforest or dig for more. They also leave behind harmful things when used.

Answer 8

Because they are chemicals, they leave behind side-products. These are usually harmful to the environment.

Answer 9

but then we can say that fossil fuel is renewable energy right?

Answer 10

Fossil fuel is not renewable for the reason I said. Once we use it in combustion, it's gone, leaving harmful CO2. We have to get more fuel.

Answer 11

what i learn is that if any energy takes years to replenish is not consider renewable

Answer 12

I guess you can remember it that way. Then fossil fuel is not renewable :)

Answer 13

yes i know that but what you wrote sounds like you're saying that anything that can be replenish is renewable.

Answer 14

Yes... Technically fossil fuels are not replenishable since we are not getting anymore dinosaurs or plants down there for billions or years again.
