question 9 of 16 renewable nonrenewable answer bank hydroelectric energy nuclear energy petroleum geothermal energy wind energy solar energy tidal energy coal natural gas biofuels

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the definitions: Renewable energy sources are replenished naturally over time, while nonrenewable are finite and take millions of years to form.

• Renewable: Hydroelectric (water cycle), geothermal (Earth's heat), wind (atmospheric movement), solar (sunlight), tidal (ocean tides), biofuels (organic matter).
• Nonrenewable: Nuclear (fuel is finite), petroleum, coal, natural gas (fossil fuels, finite).

Answer:

Renewable: hydroelectric energy, geothermal energy, wind energy, solar energy, tidal energy, biofuels
Nonrenewable: nuclear energy, petroleum, coal, natural gas
