WATER

Water is one if the most plentiful resources on earth. In fact, the earth is made up of over 70% water.
But what makes it renewable? Water is, in fact, a finite substance on earth, right?
Well, that doesn't mean it can't be renewable. Water is a renewable resource because of the cycle of which it is moved throughout the earth. Affected by solar power, water is harnessed in all forms in different parts of the world and affects different ecosystems as gasses, ice, rain, or water in the ground. Water is used as a source of energy through Hydroelectricity. Hydroelectricity is the process of harnessing energy through the flow of water in streams, rivers, falls, etc. Most electricity that is produced in this way is generated in large water-fuelled power plants and can fuel anything from light bulbs to giant generators.
