Question

Which of the following statements about energy resource availability is true? a. Nonrenewable energy sources will be completely used within 10 years. b. Nonrenewable energy sources are readily available in all countries. c. The exact amount of nonrenewable energy resources is not currently known. d. All of the above are true.

Answer 1

The Correct Answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Nonrenewable energy resources are present in limited supplies and take a long time to be replenished. Nonrenewable energy resources are fossil fuels such as petroleum, coal, natural gas and nuclear energy.
• Non-renewable energy resources will run out but the time it will run out, and its exact amount is not currently known.
• A non-renewable resource is considered as the natural resource which can not be produced in a short period, and it takes a long process to make them reusable.
• These resources are available only in a fixed ratio which means we can not use them limitless.

Answer 2

c. The exact amount of nonrenewable energy resources is not currently known.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bookkeeping of reserves produces many disputes as the most optimistic estimates by companies, and the most pessimistic by environmental groups and academic scientists. The confrontation is more visible in the field of hydrocarbon reserves; Here, the former tend to present as reserves all the known deposits and those that are about to be known. The latter emphasize how much the cost of exploration and extraction has increased, with only one new barrel found for every four consumed, and the increasing thermodynamic (energy) cost, which decreases the average use value of the new findings
