Types of Energy

What is renewable energy?

• Energy generated from nuclear waste

• Energy derived from fossil fuels

• Energy collected from naturally replenished resources.

• Energy obtained from non-renewable sources

Give an example of renewable energy source.

• Solar energy

• Wind power

• Geothermal energy

• Coal energy

What is non-renewable energy?

• Non-renewable energy is energy that is environmentally friendly.

• Non-renewable energy is energy that can be replenished quickly.

• Non-renewable energy is energy that comes from unlimited sources.

• Non-renewable energy is energy derived from sources that are finite and cannot be replenished quickly.

Provide an example of a non-renewable energy source.

• Wind energy

• Solar power

• Fossil fuels

• Hydropower

How does renewable energy impact the environment?

• Renewable energy sources have a positive impact on the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, air and water pollution, and water usage.

• Renewable energy sources have a negative impact on the environment by increasing greenhouse gas emissions

• Renewable energy sources have no impact on the environment

• Renewable energy sources deplete natural resources and harm ecosystems

What are the advantages of using renewable energy?

• Limited availability

• Higher costs

• Increased pollution

• Advantages of using renewable energy include sustainability, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, job creation, and energy independence.

What are the disadvantages of using non-renewable energy?

• Promotes economic growth, reduces unemployment, enhances national security

• Unlimited supply, cost-effective, easy to access

• No impact on the environment, no health risks, no need for regulations

• Resource depletion, environmental pollution, climate change, health issues

Explain the concept of solar energy.

• Solar energy is generated from wind turbines.

• Solar energy comes from burning fossil fuels.

• Solar energy is the energy derived from the sun's radiation.

• Solar energy is extracted from underground oil reserves.

Describe the process of harnessing wind energy.

• Wind energy is captured by using solar panels to convert sunlight into electricity.

• Wind energy is harnessed by using wind turbines to convert the kinetic energy of the wind into electricity.

• Wind energy is harnessed by digging deep wells to access underground wind currents.

• Wind energy is generated by burning fossil fuels to create a wind-like effect.

Why is it important to transition to renewable energy sources?

• Renewable energy sources are more expensive than fossil fuels

• There is an unlimited supply of fossil fuels available

• Transitioning to renewable energy sources helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, combat climate change, improve air quality, enhance energy security, and create sustainable economic growth.

• Transitioning to renewable energy sources has no impact on the environment
