Renewable Energy Resources

Front

What is renewable energy?

Back

Renewable energy is energy that comes from resources that are naturally replenished, such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves, and geothermal heat.

Front

What is geothermal energy?

Back

Geothermal energy is heat that comes from the sub-surface of the earth. It can be found in the form of steam or hot water and is used to generate electricity.

Front

What is biomass energy?

Back

Biomass energy is produced from organic materials, such as plants and animal waste, which can be burned or converted into biofuels.

Front

What are wind turbines?

Back

Wind turbines are devices that convert the kinetic energy of wind into mechanical energy, which can then be converted into electricity.

Front

What is solar energy?

Back

Solar energy is energy harnessed from the sun's rays, which can be converted into electricity or heat.

Front

What is hydroelectric energy?

Back

Hydroelectric energy is generated by using the flow of water to turn turbines, which then produce electricity.

Front

What is the main advantage of renewable energy?

Back

The main advantage of renewable energy is that it is sustainable and reduces greenhouse gas emissions, helping to combat climate change.

Front

What is the role of steam in geothermal energy production?

Back

Steam from the earth is used to turn turbines in geothermal power plants, generating electricity.

Front

What is the difference between renewable and non-renewable energy?

Back

Renewable energy comes from sources that can be replenished naturally, while non-renewable energy comes from sources that will eventually run out, such as fossil fuels.

Front

What are some examples of renewable energy sources?

Back

Examples of renewable energy sources include solar, wind, geothermal, hydroelectric, and biomass.
