Me asap. classify the energy sources as either renewable or nonrenewable. a. energy obtained from coal b. energy obtained from burning plant waste. c. energy obtained from water springs inside the earth. d. energy obtained from natural gas.

A. energy obtained from coal > Non Renewable

B. energy obtained from burning plant waste. > Non Renewable

C. energy obtained from water springs inside the Earth. Renewable

D. energy obtained from natural gas.Non Renewable

Explanation:

Renewable energy resources are those which can be used again and again. This reuse is possible because either they are present in ample amount or they are produced in a very short span of time.  

While a non-renewable energy resource cannot be used again and again. Also if they are recreated,  they take millions of years which in other way round lead to their depletion.  

Based on the above explanation, the classification is as follows -

A. energy obtained from coal > Non Renewable

B. energy obtained from burning plant waste. > Non Renewable

C. energy obtained from water springs inside the Earth. Renewable

D. energy obtained from natural gas.Non Renewable

coal is not sustainable because it will one day run out.

b is the best answer for this question.
