Question

1. wind energy is considered renewable because:

a. it can be stored forever
b. wind never runs out
c. it forms in rock layers
d. it is made from fossils

Explanation:

Renewable energy sources are those that are replenished naturally and can be used repeatedly. Wind is a natural phenomenon driven by the sun's heat and the Earth's rotation. As long as these natural processes continue (which they will for the foreseeable future), wind will be available. Option a is incorrect because while wind energy can be stored (e.g., in batteries), the key aspect of being renewable is the source's replenishment, not storage. Option c is wrong as wind does not form in rock layers. Option d is incorrect because wind is not made from fossils (fossil - based energy sources are non - renewable like coal, oil).

Answer:

B. Wind never runs out
