Natural resources Quiz

What are the examples of renewable energy sources?

• Nuclear power

• Coal, oil, and natural gas

• Biomass and biofuels

• Sunlight, wind, water, and geothermal heat

How do renewable energy sources differ from non-renewable resources?

• Renewable energy sources are harmful to the environment, while non-renewable resources are not

• Renewable energy sources are more expensive than non-renewable resources

• Renewable energy sources can be replenished naturally and are sustainable, while non-renewable resources are finite and will eventually run out.

• Renewable energy sources are only used in developing countries, while non-renewable resources are used in developed countries

What are the benefits of using renewable energy sources?

• Deplete natural resources

• Sustainable, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and decrease dependence on fossil fuels

• Contribute to air pollution

• Increase greenhouse gas emissions

Explain the concept of solar energy and its advantages.

• Solar energy is the energy derived from the sun's radiation. It is a renewable and sustainable source of energy that can be used to generate electricity and heat water. Its advantages include being environmentally friendly, reducing electricity bills, and being low maintenance.

• Solar energy is the energy derived from wind. It is not environmentally friendly and cannot reduce electricity bills.

• Solar energy is the energy derived from the earth's core. It is not sustainable and cannot be used to generate electricity.

• Solar energy is the energy derived from the moon's radiation. It is a non-renewable source of energy.

What are the different types of renewable energy sources?

• Nuclear, fossil fuels, coal

• Solar, wind, nuclear

• Solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass energy

• Coal, oil, natural gas

What is wind energy and how is it harnessed?

• Wind energy is the energy generated by the movement of animals. It is harnessed using windmills to convert the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical power.

• Wind energy is the energy generated by the movement of air. It is harnessed using wind turbines to convert the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical power.

• Wind energy is the energy generated by the movement of water. It is harnessed using solar panels to convert the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical power.

• Wind energy is the energy generated by the movement of cars. It is harnessed using geothermal energy to convert the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical power.

What is geothermal energy and how is it used?

• Geothermal energy is a type of fossil fuel. It is used to power cars.

• Geothermal energy is a type of wind energy. It is used to create wind turbines.

• Geothermal energy is heat from the Earth. It is used to generate electricity and for heating purposes.

• Geothermal energy is energy from the moon. It is used to power spaceships.

What is biomass energy and how is it produced?

• Energy derived from organic materials and produced through processes like combustion, fermentation, and anaerobic digestion.

• Energy derived from wind and produced through processes like nuclear fission and fusion.

• Energy derived from fossil fuels and produced through processes like solar radiation and pressure.

• Energy derived from inorganic materials and produced through processes like photosynthesis and respiration.

What are non-renewable resources and why are they important?

• Non-renewable resources that can be easily replaced, such as water and air. They are important because they are essential for life and can never run out.

• Non-renewable resources that are not important because they are harmful to the environment and should not be used at all.

• Natural resources that cannot be easily replaced once they are used up, such as fossil fuels and minerals. They are important because they provide essential energy and raw materials for various industries, but their limited supply means that they must be used wisely and efficiently.

• Renewable resources that can be easily replaced, such as wind and solar energy. They are important because they are abundant and can be used without limit.

What are the environmental impacts of using non-renewable resources?

• Increase in biodiversity

• Reduction in greenhouse gas emissions

• Improvement in air quality

• Air and water pollution, habitat destruction, and contribution to climate change
