A class is studying electricity and

students make the table below to
share information about energy
sources.
Which statement identifies a
nonrenewable energy source
from the table and correctly
explains why this source is
considered nonrenewable?

there is no way to produce additional waste material.

underground and new petroleum takes millions of years to form.

system and there is no replacement when the sun is used up.
d) Wind energy is nonrenewable because the air pressure difference
required to produce wind is not available at all times at all locations.
