On what basis would you classify energy sources as
(a) renewable and non-renewable?
(b) exhaustible and inexhaustible?
Are the options given in (a) and (b) the same?
(a)That source of energy that replenishes in nature is known as a renewable source of energy. Sun, wind, moving water, biomass, etc. The source of energy that does not replenish in nature is known as a non-renewable source of energy. Coal, petroleum, natural gas, etc. are some of the examples of non-renewable sources of energy.
(b)those sources of energy, which will deplete and exhaust after a few hundred years are exhaustible . Coal, petroleum, etc. are the exhaustible sources of energy.Inexhaustible resources of energy are those sources, which will not exhaust in future. These are unlimited. Biomass is one of the inexhaustible sources of energy.
Yes. The options given in (a) and (b) are the same.
