What are Renewable Energy Sources?

Back

Renewable energy sources are those that can be replenished naturally, such as solar, wind, and biomass.

Front

What are Non-Renewable Energy Sources?

Back

Non-renewable energy sources are those that cannot be replenished in a short time, such as coal, oil, and natural gas.

Front

What is Solar Energy?

Back

Solar energy is the energy harnessed from the sun's rays, used for heating and electricity generation.

Front

What is Hydroelectric Energy?

Back

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

Front

What is the process of Fission?

Back

Fission is the process of splitting an atomic nucleus into smaller parts, releasing a significant amount of energy.
