Question

which scenario describes a nonrenewable resource being used for energy?
a pitcher of tea is heated by the sun.
a steak is cooked over a charcoal fire.
a pot of water is boiled on a gas stove.
a load of laundry is dried on a clothesline.

Explanation:

Renewable resources can be replenished naturally in a short - term. Non - renewable resources cannot. Sunlight for heating tea and drying laundry are renewable energy sources. Charcoal is a solid fuel made from wood, but it is a form of biomass energy which is renewable in a long run. Natural gas used in a gas stove is a non - renewable fossil fuel.

Answer:

A pot of water is boiled on a gas stove.
