What is a direct benefit of using ocean wave energy technology?

  1. Destruction of habitats near the devices

  2. Increased use of nonrenewable resources

  3. Decreased use of nonrenewable resources

  4. Release of gases needed for photosynthesis

The correct answer is: Decreased use of nonrenewable resources

Using ocean wave energy technology leads to a decreased use of nonrenewable resources. This technology harnesses the energy generated by ocean waves, providing a renewable and sustainable source of power. By utilizing the energy from waves, we reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, which are nonrenewable resources. This shift not only helps to conserve these limited resources but also supports efforts to mitigate climate change by lowering greenhouse gas emissions associated with fossil fuel combustion. Transitioning to wave energy contributes to a broader movement towards cleaner energy solutions, enhancing energy security and sustainability for the future.
