MATURA ENGLISH: Energy Resources

What are fossil fuels?

• Energy resources derived from renewable sources

• Energy resources formed from ancient organic matter

• Energy resources produced through nuclear reactions

• Energy resources derived from organic materials

What is the significance of fossil fuels?

• They provide a stable source of electricity with minimal greenhouse gas emissions

• They are a sustainable alternative to traditional fossil fuels

• They have been the primary source of energy for decades, driving industrialization and transportation

• They utilize heat from the Earth's core to generate electricity or provide direct heating

What is the environmental impact of fossil fuels?

• They have minimal emissions, but can disrupt local ecosystems and require drilling

• They generally have a lower environmental footprint, but may still impact ecosystems and require land use

• The combustion of fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases, contributing to climate change

• They depend on finite resources and have concerns about safety and potential accidents

What are renewable energy sources?

• Energy resources derived from renewable sources

• Energy resources formed from ancient organic matter

• Energy resources produced through nuclear reactions

• Energy resources derived from organic materials
