Renewable and Non-Renewable Energy Resources Quiz

What is solar energy?

• Energy from the moon

• Energy from fossil fuels

• Energy from wind

• Energy from the sun

What is wind energy?

• Energy generated from the movement of air (wind) and converted into a useful form, such as electricity, using wind turbines.

• Energy generated from the burning of fossil fuels and converted into electricity using power plants

• Energy generated from the heat of the sun and converted into electricity using solar panels

• Energy generated from the movement of water and converted into electricity using hydroelectric dams

What are the advantages of wind energy?

• Causes air pollution

• Leads to deforestation

• Advantages of wind energy include being a clean and renewable source of energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and creating jobs in the wind energy industry.

• Increases dependence on fossil fuels

What is hydroelectric power?

• A type of energy derived from the combustion of fossil fuels

• A method of generating power using wind turbines

• A process of extracting energy from the sun

• A form of renewable energy that harnesses the power of flowing or falling water to generate electricity.

How does hydroelectric power generate electricity?

• By using the force of flowing water to turn turbines

• By harnessing the energy of wind to turn turbines

• By burning coal to heat water and produce steam

• By using solar panels to convert sunlight into electricity

What is geothermal energy?

• Wind energy

• Nuclear energy

• Heat from the Earth's core

• Energy from the sun

Where is geothermal energy commonly found?

• In areas with high wind speed

• In areas with abundant coal reserves

• In areas with heavy rainfall

• In areas with volcanic activity

What are fossil fuels?

• Fuels extracted from outer space

• Man-made fuels created in laboratories

• Natural fuels formed from the remains of living organisms over millions of years.

• Energy sources that are constantly replenished by natural processes

What are the environmental impacts of using fossil fuels?

• Increased biodiversity

• Reduced greenhouse gas emissions

• Improved air quality

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

What are the environmental benefits of solar energy?

• Causes air pollution

• Leads to deforestation

• Advantages of solar energy include reducing greenhouse gas emissions, being a clean and renewable source of energy, and creating jobs in the solar energy industry.

• Increases dependence on fossil fuels
