Identify the advantages and disadvantages of renewable and nonrenewable resources

There are 2 types of resources - renewable and non renewable

Advantages:

Renewable resources:

1. As the name suggests, it can be renewed that means we could never run out of this source or its abundance will never end.

2. The cost and efficiency of this resource is totally dependent on the present technology. It can be produced locally with the technology used.

Non renewable resources:

1. They are very profitable in business.

2. They are easy to use and cost efficient.

Disadvantages:

Renewable resources:

1. The upfront and installation cost is much higher.

2. They depend on natural factors like sunlight, wind, water which are not constant. Thus they don’t have constant supply.

Non renewable resources

1. They lead into the emission of green house gases which pollutes the environment and causes acid rain, fire hazards etc.

2. They are limited in nature, once exhausted, they will take thousands of years to get ready for use.

sulfur dioxide

explanation: acid rain is caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air. these substances can rise very high into the atmosphere, where they mix and react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form more acidic pollutants, known as acid rain.

answer:

the water molecules are transferred from the roots to the stem or top parts of the tall tree because of important properties of water which are adhesion, cohesion and capillary action. cohesion is the property of water molecules keeps water molecules in a combined state by sharing of bonds between them at the atomic level. adhesion allows the interaction of water molecules with other substances or substrate. adhesion will cause the attachment of water molecules to the wall of the vessel (xylem) of the plant. capillary action occurs when the adhesive force to the vessel wall is stronger than the cohesive force between water molecules. capillary action mimics the transfer of water from a tube or pipe. in this way water utilizes its property to transfer water from down to top level of the plant.
