Answer:

the difference between renewable and non renewable resources

Explanation:

renewable resource :

A renewable resource is a natural resource which will replenish to replace the portion depleted by usage and consumption, either through natural reproduction or other recurring processes in a finite amount of time in a human time scale.

non renewable resource:

A non-renewable resource is a natural resource that cannot be readily replaced by natural means at a quick enough pace to keep up with consumption. An example is carbon-based fossil fuel. The original organic matter, with the aid of heat and pressure, becomes a fuel such as oil or gas

Renewable Resources:-

  • Renewable resources cannot be depleted over time

  • Renewable resources include sunlight, water, wind and also geothermal sources such as hot springs and fumaroles

  • Most renewable resources have low carbon emissions and low carbon footprint

  • The upfront cost of renewable energy is high. – For instance, Generating electricity using technologies running on renewable energy is costlier than generating it with fossil fuels

  • Infrastructure for harvesting renewable energy is prohibitively expensive and not easily accessible in most countries.

  • Requires a large land/ offshore area, especially for wind farms and solar farms

Non- Renewable Resources

  • Non-renewable resources deplete over time

  • Non-renewable energy includes fossil fuels such as coal and petroleum.

  • Non-renewable energy has a comparatively higher carbon footprint and carbon emissions.

  • Non-renewable energy has a comparatively lower upfront cost.

  • Cost-effective and accessible infrastructure is available for non-renewable energy across most countries

  • Comparatively lower area requirements
