Quick? which of the following statements best compares nuclear power and hydropower based on their rates of renewal?
hydropower has a faster rate because water is continuously being recycled through the hydrogeological cycle.
nuclear power has a faster rate because all elements are spontaneously radioactive and are a source of nuclear energy.
hydropower has a slower rate because a large volume of water vapor that evaporates takes several years to return to water cycle.
nuclear power has a slower rate because the nuclear waste produced is not radioactive and thus cannot be used further as a fuel.

Hydropower has a faster rate because water is continuously being recycled through the hydrogeological cycle.

Explanation:

The source of hydropower is mostly from water which is a part of the hydrogeological cycle. Water is renewed at a faster rate within the weather system from time to time. We can easily forecast and predict an areas potency of generating hydro-electricity. Water is a renewable resources.

For nuclear power, the source is geological. Not all elements are radioactive. A certain condition must be fulfilled for spontaneous radioactivity in an isotope. Minerals are mined for their useful radioactive materials which serves as fuels in nuclear power plant. Geological processes takes a very long time to occur and so the sources of nuclear power is not easily renewed. In fact, they are classified as part of non-renewable resources.  

Hydropower has a faster rate becaume water is continuously being recycled through the hydrogeological cycle.

Explanation:

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
