Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of renewable resources: Renewable resources are those that can be replenished naturally over short periods of time and are not depleted when used sustainably. Examples include sunlight, wind, and water.
Analyze each option: Solar energy, natural gas, uranium, and coal. Determine whether each resource can be replenished naturally within a short timeframe or if it is finite.
Evaluate solar energy: Solar energy is derived from sunlight, which is continuously available and does not deplete with use. It is considered a renewable resource.
Evaluate natural gas, uranium, and coal: These are fossil fuels or minerals that take millions of years to form and are finite in supply. They are considered non-renewable resources.
Conclude that solar energy is the correct answer because it meets the criteria of a renewable resource, unlike the other options provided.
