Satellites orbit the earth at a speed of 28,000 kmph.

Satellites that are further away actually travel slower. The International Space Station has a Low Earth Orbit, about 400 kilometers (250 miles) above the earth's surface. Objects orbiting at that altitude travel about 28,000 kilometers per hour (17,500 miles per hour).

True, the carbon in the ocean originates from the atmosphere. The oceanic surface water absorbs the carbon dioxide gas from the atmosphere and dissolves in it.

Deleted files are not permanently removed from the hard drive or the computers memory. Before they are permanently removed from the system they are stored in Recycle Bin. Recycle Bin is a folder or directory where deleted items are temporarily stored. It is also called as trash.

Geothermal power plants are used in order to generate electricity by the use of geothermal energy (the Earth's internal thermal energy). They essentially work the same as a coal or nuclear power plant, the main difference being the heat source.

Geothermal power plants use hydrothermal resources that have both water (hydro) and heat (thermal). Geothermal power plants require high-temperature (300°F to 700°F) hydrothermal resources that come from either dry steam wells or from hot water wells.

A : B = (800 × 8+ 900+ 1000+ 1100+ 1200): (1600 × 8+ 1700+ 1800+ 1900+ 2000)
A : B = 53 : 101
Profit of A ⇒ 7700 ×53/154 = 2650 Rs.

When a running car stops suddenly, the passengers tends to lean forward because of Inertia of motion.

While eating a watermelon, we all go along the red and stops at green.

Based on conventionality in deriving energy, energy sources could be classified as

Conventional ::

coal, oil, hydro, nuclear, etc... sources which can be used up or exhaustible.

(and)

Non - conventional ::

solar, wind, tidal, geothermal, biogas, etc... sources which are not exhausted.

Among the given options, Geothermal energy is the alternative energy source among all the choices that are given in the question, that is exhaustible.
