Energy Sources Quiz

CHOOSE THE NON-RENEWABLE SOURCE OF ENERGY

• Fossil fuels
• Hydropower
• Wind energy
• Solar energy

WHY ARE FOSSIL FUELS REGARDED AS NON-RENEWABLE?

• Fossil fuels are created through a rapid natural process
• Fossil fuels have an unlimited supply
• Fossil fuels are formed from organic matter that takes millions of years to create, and the rate of consumption far exceeds the rate of formation.
• Fossil fuels are constantly replenished by the environment

WHAT IS MEANT BY A RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCE?

• A renewable energy source is a source of energy that is harmful to the environment.
• A renewable energy source is a source of energy that can be replenished naturally and quickly.
• A renewable energy source is a source of energy that depletes over time.
• A renewable energy source is a source of energy that is only available in limited quantities.

WHY IS BIOFUEL CALLED A RENEWABLE SOURCE OF ENERGY?

• Biofuel is derived from organic materials that can be replenished within a short period of time.
• Biofuel is made from non-renewable resources
• Biofuel has a limited supply that will eventually run out
• Biofuel production emits high levels of greenhouse gases

HOW DOES WATER IN A DAM PROVIDE ENERGY?

• Water in a dam provides energy by absorbing sunlight and converting it into electricity.
• Water in a dam provides energy by releasing heat and powering turbines directly.
• Water in a dam provides energy by creating a magnetic field that generates electricity.
• Water in a dam provides energy by flowing through turbines and turning generators to produce electricity.

ADVANTAGES OF RENEWABLE ENERGY

• Renewable energy sources are expensive and unaffordable for most people.
• Using renewable energy sources leads to increased pollution levels.
• Renewable energy sources are unreliable and inconsistent in their output.
• Renewable energy sources are sustainable, environmentally friendly, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, promote energy independence, and create jobs.

DISADVANTAGES OF NON-RENEWABLE ENERGY.

• Inexhaustible supply
• Does not impact the environment
• Cost-effective compared to renewables
• Can run out, contributes to climate change, environmental damage, expensive compared to renewables
