Yamang napapalitan (renewable resources) are natural resources that can be replaced or naturally replenished over time. These are important because they do not easily run out if we use them wisely. Tubig (Water) – Rain and rivers keep replenishing our supply.Hangin (Air/Wind) – We can use it for energy through windmills.Araw (Sunlight) – Solar energy is a renewable source.Kahoy (Wood/Trees) – Trees can grow again if we plant new ones.Mga hayop at isda (Animals and Fish) – As long as they reproduce and we avoid overhunting or overfishing.These resources are useful for everyday life and can last long if humans practice conservation (like reforestation and sustainable fishing). Unlike yamang di-napapalitan (non-renewable resources such as coal and oil), yamang napapalitan give us a chance to use them continuously for future generations.
Yamang napapalitan" is a Tagalog term that translates to renewable resources in English. Examples of renewable resources include solar energy, wind energy, hydropower (from moving water), geothermal energy (from the Earth's heat), biomass (from plants and animals), and even forests and fish (if managed sustainably). What are renewable resources?Renewable resources are natural resources that can replenish themselves over a relatively short period, making them inexhaustible on a human timescale. Examples of yamang napapalitan: Solar energy: Energy captured from sunlight.Wind energy: Energy generated from the movement of air.Hydropower: Energy produced from flowing water, such as rivers or dams.Geothermal energy: Heat from within the Earth used to generate power.Biomass: Organic matter from plants and animals that can be used for energy.Forests: Trees that can be replanted and regrown.Fish: Marine life that can reproduce and be replenished through sustainable fishing practices.
