ScanSolve AI Answer

The main sources of non-renewable energy are:

  • Fossil Fuels: These are formed from the remains of ancient organisms over millions of years. They include:
    • Coal: A solid fuel formed from plant matter.
    • Petroleum (Oil): A liquid fuel formed from marine organisms.
    • Natural Gas: A gaseous fuel, often found with petroleum deposits.
  • Nuclear Energy: This is derived from radioactive elements, primarily uranium, through a process called nuclear fission.

These sources are considered non-renewable because they are consumed much faster than they can be naturally replenished.
