Ocean waves are a source of energy make and justify a claim about weather ocean waves are a renewable or nonrenewable resource
I claim that ocean waves are a renewable resource.
Justification:
- Ocean waves are created by the movement of wind across the surface of the ocean, which is a result of the sun's energy heating the Earth's atmosphere. As long as the sun continues to shine and heat the Earth, wind and waves will be generated, making them a perpetual resource.
- Unlike fossil fuels which are finite and take millions of years to form, the energy created by ocean waves is continuously replenished by natural processes, making it sustainable in the long term.
- Technologies like wave energy converters and tidal turbines are being developed to harness the energy from ocean waves, further underscoring the renewable nature of this resource.
