Identify an energy source that is NOT renewable.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Coal is not a renewable energy source as it is a fossil fuel that is formed over millions of years from the remains of old plants and animals. Once it is burned, it cannot be replaced within a human lifetime. The other options listed are renewable energy sources as they are either derived from natural processes that can be replenished over time (solar, wind) or rely on the constant flow of water, which is also a renewable resource (hydroelectric).
