Quick? which of the following statements best compares nuclear power and hydropower based on their rates of renewal?
hydropower has a faster rate because water is continuously being recycled through the hydrogeological cycle.
nuclear power has a faster rate because all elements are spontaneously radioactive and are a source of nuclear energy.
hydropower has a slower rate because a large volume of water vapor that evaporates takes several years to return to water cycle.
nuclear power has a slower rate because the nuclear waste produced is not radioactive and thus cannot be used further as a fuel.

Hydropower has a faster rate because water is continuously being recycled through the hydrogeological cycle.

Explanation:

The source of hydropower is mostly from water which is a part of the hydrogeological cycle. Water is renewed at a faster rate within the weather system from time to time. We can easily forecast and predict an areas potency of generating hydro-electricity. Water is a renewable resources.

For nuclear power, the source is geological. Not all elements are radioactive. A certain condition must be fulfilled for spontaneous radioactivity in an isotope. Minerals are mined for their useful radioactive materials which serves as fuels in nuclear power plant. Geological processes takes a very long time to occur and so the sources of nuclear power is not easily renewed. In fact, they are classified as part of non-renewable resources.  

Hydropower has a faster rate becaume water is continuously being recycled through the hydrogeological cycle.

Explanation:

conduction is the transfer of thermal energy (heat in transfer) due to collisions between the molecules in the object. collisions between adjacent atoms and molecules transfer kinetic energy from the warmer to the cooler object. the objects must be in physical contact.
