The sources of energy which are inexhaustible and can be replacedas they have been used are called renewable sources of energy.

Explanation: fossil fuels are non renewable energy because they are the remaining parts of prehistoric plants and animals, which got buried deep inside the earth millions of years ago due to some natural processes and are used as the sources of energy in present days and they cannot be regained quickly and take millions of years to form only under very suitable conditions.

(Paraffin is used for manufacturing candles, books, polish, wax, Vaseline etc)
