Renewable energy resource
one that is being/can be replenished as it is used
10 of 18
Non-Renewable energy resource
one with a finite amount. it will eventually run out when all reserves have been used up
11 of 18
Kinetic Theory of Matter
matter is made up of particles which are in continual random motion
