2 Renewable Energy Source Non-renewable Energy Source

3 Energy sources are nonrenewable if they cannot be made again in a short period of time. Renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, can be replenished naturally in a short period of time.

4 What are Fossil Fuels? Non-renewable energy sources that formed from the buried remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago Over time, heat and pressure turned decomposing remains into fuels, which release energy when burned
