Worked practice questions

Which resource is continuously available and replenished naturally?

  1. Coal dust
  2. Crude oil
  3. Solar energy
  4. Natural gas
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Solar energy

1. A renewable resource is replenished naturally. 2. Sunlight is continuously available and human use does not noticeably reduce it. 3. Coal, petroleum and natural gas take millions of years to form, so they are non-renewable. _Source: Wikipedia, Natural resource, Renewability/exhaustibility_

  2. are found only underwater
  3. cannot be burned twice
  4. take millions of years to form
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. take millions of years to form

1. Fossil fuels form from buried organisms through slow geological processes. 2. This takes millions of years, far slower than their use. 3. Cost, burning or location do not decide renewability. _Source: Wikipedia, Fossil fuel, Origin_
