Answer 2

Answer:

Conventional sources of energy

These sources of energy are not abundant, present in limited quantity, e.g. coal, petroleum, natural gas.

They have been in use for a long time.

They are not replenished continuously. They are formed over a million years.

They are called non-renewable sources of energy.

They are used extensively, at a higher rate than the non-conventional sources.

Non-conventional sources of energy

These sources of energy are abundant in nature, e.g. solar energy, wind energy, tidal energy, biogas from biomass etc.

They are yet in development phase over the past few years.

They are replenished continuously by natural processes.

They are called renewable sources of energy.

They are not used as extensively as conventional sources.

Solar energy is an essential energy of all non-conventional sources but its usage amount is very less. It is the most important non-conventional source of energy and it gives non-polluting environment-friendly output and is available in abundant.
