Question
Give scientific reason.
Hydropower, solar energy and wind energy are called renewable energy.
Solution
- The sources of energy which are being produced continuously in nature and are inexhaustible, i.e., they are always available for use are called renewable sources of energy.
- Hydropower, solar energy, wind energy are produced from energy sources like water, sunlight and wind respectively that are produced continuously in nature and will not get depleted.
Thus, hydropower, solar energy and wind energy are called renewable energy.
