What is solar energy?

• Solar energy is energy that is harnessed from the sun. Solar energy is considered clean because it does not release pollutants such as greenhouse gases.

• Solar energy is the energy generated from wind turbines
• Solar energy is the energy obtained from geothermal sources
• Solar energy is the energy produced from burning fossil fuels

What is wind energy?

• Wind energy is the heat generated by the sun
• Wind energy is the sound produced by wind turbines
• Wind energy is produced by wind turbines. The motion of the blde generates electricity by the use of fossil fuels.

• Wind energy is the light emitted by windmills

What is hydropower?

• Hydropower is a form of nuclear energy
• Hydropower is a form of renewable energy that is created through the force of moving water. Water flows through a dam which pushes turbines.

• Hydropower is generated from wind energy
• Hydropower is a type of fossil fuel

What is Geothermal energy?

• Geothermal energy is generated from wind turbines.
• Geothermal energy comes from burning fossil fuels.
• Geothermal energy is extracted from ocean waves.
• Geothermal energy is heat that comes from deep inside the earth.

What is biomass energy?

• Energy derived from inorganic materials like plastic or metal.
• Energy derived from wind or solar power.
• Energy that comes from plants and animals. The stored energy comes from the sun. Burning the biomass releases the stored energy.

• Energy derived from fossil fuels like coal or oil.

What is the effect of Renewable resources on the environment?

• Even renewable resources can have damaging effects on the environment. Solar power requires land use that can result in habitat loss. Hydropower builds dams that affect aquatic ecosystems. Burning biomass releases greenhouse gases. Still less harmful than nonrenewable

What are nonrenewable resources?

• Natural resources cannot be replaces as quickly as they are used. They will eventually run out, and there are two main types.

• Resources that have no impact on the environment
• Resources that are easily replenished
• Resources that are not used by humans
