Question

which of the following are considered inexhaustible energy resources since they will never run out?
biomass
sun
wind
geothermal
water
______ energy is energy that is produced by the burning of organic matter, such as wood, food scraps and alcohol.
your answer

Explanation:

First Question (Inexhaustible Energy Resources)

• Biomass: Renewable but not inexhaustible in the same sense (depends on organic matter availability, can be depleted if overused).
• Sun: Solar energy is inexhaustible as the sun's energy production will last billions of years.
• Wind: Wind energy is driven by solar heating of the atmosphere, a natural process that won't run out.
• Geothermal: Heat from the Earth's interior is a nearly inexhaustible resource (Earth's heat generation is long - lasting).
• Water (hydropower): The water cycle, driven by the sun, ensures a continuous supply for hydropower, making it inexhaustible.

The energy produced by burning organic matter like wood, food scraps, and alcohol is biomass energy. Biomass is organic material that stores energy from the sun (through photosynthesis in plants, for example), and burning it releases that energy.

Answer:

B. sun, C. wind, D. geothermal, E. water
