Refineries process oil, found in the Earth, and turn it into gasoline to be used by cars.

Explanation:

The first option describes Geothermal energy. Geothermal energy uses the heat of the Earth's crust as a heat source. It is a renewable resource.

Refineries use the oil extracted from the Earth to produce gasoline. This is a non renewable resource as the oil found in the Earth is of finite quantity and is being depleted faster than it is being replenished.

Solar panels use the sunlight to produce electricity. Sunlight is a renewable resource.

Windmill uses the power of moving air to generate electricity. Wind is a renewable resource.

the motion of a pendulum is a classic example of mechanical energy conservation. a pendulum consists of a mass (known as a bob ) attached by a string to a pivot point. as the pendulum moves it sweeps out a circular arc, moving back and forth in a periodic fashion.
