Development And Industrial Geography Practice Test

Which energy category includes a resource with a theoretically unlimited supply, such as wind?

Renewable Energy Nonrenewable Energy Primary Sector Secondary Sector

Correct Answer:

Renewable Energy

Explanation:

The main idea here is renewable versus nonrenewable energy based on how easily the resource can be replenished. Wind fits into renewable energy because it’s driven by the sun’s energy and continually reoccurs, giving an essentially unlimited supply for human use. Nonrenewable energy refers to finite resources like coal, oil, and natural gas that diminish as they’re used. The primary sector and the secondary sector are about economic activities—extraction and manufacturing—not energy categories. So wind and similar resources belong to Renewable Energy.
