What are renewable energy sources?
Renewable energy sources are energy sources that are quickly replenished after they are
used.
What are non-renewable energy sources.
Non-renewable energy sources are energy sources that are limited to what we have right now.
What is an example of a renewable energy source?
Solar energy is one, as the sun shines everyday unless it is cloudy. Even then, clouds usually
don't last very long.
What is an example of a non-renewable energy source?
Petroleum is one, as it was created millions of years ago and we cannot make more in a short time.
Are there other common examples of renewable energy?
Yes, wind and water are sources of renewable energy.
How is wind used as a renewable energy source?
Wind blows a windmill, which creates electricity inside the windmill.
How is water used as a renewable energy source?
Similar to wind, water flows into a water turbine which makes it spin and that creates
electricity.
