Richard asks…
In terms of Non-Renewable Resources, what is the difference between minerals and fossil fuels?
Fossil Fuels –
Coal
Oil & Petroleum Products – Gasoline, Diesel Fuel & Propane
Natural Gas
Uranium (Nuclear Energy)
Minerals –
Copper
What are some more examples of minerals?
The Expert answers:
Minerals are inorganic substances that naturally occur in rocks.They occur in pure state and in combinations ,and include metals and gems as well as non-metallic minerals. Asbestos.graphite,gypsum, phosphorus,sulphur quartz etc are minerals only
Fossil fuels are derived from the organic remains of plants and animals.The principal fossil fuels are coal,oil,and gas.
Laura asks…
is anyone good at science that could walk me through this?
1. Nonrenewable energy resources such as oil
A. can be reused and redeveloped.
B. cannot be reused and redeveloped.
C. will never be depleted, because they can be reused.
D. None of the above
2. Renewable energy resources
A. can be reused and redeveloped.
B. cannot be reused and redeveloped.
C. will eventually be depleted because they cannot be reused.
D. do not originate from the sun.
3. Which of the following is an example of a renewable energy resource?
A. Hydroelectric power
B. Coal
C. Natural gas
D. Uranium
4. Which of the following is an example of a nonrenewable energy resource?
A. Hydroelectric power
B. Biomass
C. Solar power
D. Oil
5. What is the main reason renewable energy resources currently make up a small amount of the energy used in the world?
A. They cost too little.
B. They cost too much.
C. They are ineffective.
D. They are not helpful to the user.
The Expert answers:
1) a nonrenewable resources is a source that cannot be remade and is used up in the future so the answer would be B
2) renewable resources are things that can be made again or can keep making energy so the answer is A
3) hydroelectric power is the use of water turing a turbine so the answer is A beause it cannot run out
4) look up at question one and you see that oil is a nonrenewable resource so the answer is D
5)i don’t know but my guess would be B

The Expert answers:
1. B it’s called non-renewable because it cannot be renewed and will eventually be used up.
2. A which is why they’re called renewable.
3. A Hydroelectric power is renewable since it is powered by the action of the sun and moon on water or by gravity.
4. D. Oill is non-renewable since it will eventually run out (although technically oil can still be made but not nearly as fast as it is used up.) It takes millions of years to create an oil well and it is used up in a few short decades.
5. A. The economic advantages of non-renewable energy is primary reason for the dependence on non-renewable resources but as those resources run out it becomes more and more economically viable to switch to renewable energy forms.
