Renewable Resources

Renewable resources are natural resources that can be replenished or regenerated naturally over time, allowing them to be sustainably used without depleting their availability. These resources include solar energy, wind energy, hydropower, geothermal energy, and biomass, among others. Unlike fossil fuels, which can take millions of years to form and are finite, renewable resources are characterized by their capacity to renew themselves within a human timescale, often through natural processes like the sun’s energy, the water cycle, and biological growth. The use of renewable resources plays a crucial role in reducing environmental impact, mitigating climate change, and promoting sustainable development.
