Interpretation: It should be determined for the following is a renewable energy resource.
Concept Introduction:
Hydroelectric power plant: As the largest renewable energy source, hydroelectric energy accounts for 22 percent of world’s electricity.
It generates more power that other renewable sources like solar energy system, wind, geothermal sources.
Fossil fuels:
Fossil fuels originate from organic matter that was trapped under the Earth surface for many millennia.
Due to the particular combination of temperature, pressure, and available oxygen, the decomposition of organic matter resulted in the hydrocarbons.
The extracted item ; Coal, crude oil, and natural gas- the solid, liquid and gaseous forms of fossil fuels, respectively.
Nonrenewable sources are those for which the energy source is used and not concurrently replenished.
Renewable energy sources:
The sun energy is an example of renewable resources.
These include solar energy and energy derived from wind, biomass, and moving water likewise geothermal energy is a renewable resources.

Radioactive wastes, like uranium, must be handled and disposed of according to special regulations designed to protect people and the environment. Nuclear power plants produce too much greenhouse gases due to the burning of uranium. 2. In the experiment on determining the dissolved oxygen concentration of a water sample, the compound used to acidify the sample was hydrochloric acid. An acidic solution will have a pH greater than 7. 3. Pure water has a slight blue coloration that goes deeper as the thickness of the sample increases. Water follows the temperature of its surrounding. 4. The solubility of oxygen in water increases at colder temperatures, and decreases at higher temperatures.
