Which of the following is a renewable resource? coal natural gas nuclear power solar power

Solar power

Explanation:

Solar power is derieved from a renewable energy source which is the sun. We know for sure that solar energy is replenishable within a very short period of time as a result of nuclear fusion of hydrogen atoms to produce helium in the sun. This nuclear reaction is constantly releasing energy to the solar system which powers most of the external processes in all the planets and their bodies. This solar energy can also be converted to other forms of energy on the earth surface.

Solar power is constantly being renewed and hence, it is a renewable energy source.

Coal and natural gas are fossil fuels which takes several millions of years to form and accumulate in the appropriate geologic setting. Their reserve is constantly being plundered and are termed non-renewable energy sources.

Nuclear power source their fuels from naturally occuring earth bound radioactive minerals. These minerals were formed several years ago in the earth. It takes geologic time for such minerals to form. Therefore, nuclear power is not renewable.
