What are the example of renewable resources that can get exhausted? ?
Answers
Types of renewable energy
Solar – Solar energy is a sustainable form of renewable energy from the sun, which can be used to generate electricity and heat. Electricity is generated using photovoltaic panels. Solar thermal panels, normally containing a liquid, capture heat from the sun.
Wind – Wind energy is harnessed using wind turbines, located on or off shore. Wind turns the blades of a turbine, which then turn a generator to make electricity. One large turbine can power roughly 3000 homes.
Geothermal – Geothermal energy is captured from shallow ground or hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the Earth’s surface, and even from deeper down from the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma. This heat can be used directly or used to generate electricity.
Biomass – Plant and animal matter (biomass) can be burned to create heat or to drive a turbine to generate electricity.
Hydropower – Hydropower is energy harnessed from moving water such as rivers, tides and waves. Alternatively water is captured in dams and released through a turbine to generate electricity.
