Renewable resources are resources that can be used over and over again and can be replemished naturally. For example, solar power energy. Non-renewable resources are resources that available in limited quantities. For example, oil or coal. The dangers of depending to much on non-renewable resources are risking the chance of using up all of the non-renewable resources and not being able to get it back.

Answer:

Differentiate between Renewable and Non-renewable resources.

  • Renewable energy is energy which is basically generated from the Natural resources such as Wind, Water, Sun, Rain, Geo-thermal heat and Tides. these are examples of renewable sources of energy which is replenished naturally.
  • On the other hand non-renewable resources are those resources which can be used one time only. Non-renewable resources are made with fossil fuels and limited in supply. Non-renewable resources generate Higher relative carbon emission.
