Renewable and Nonrenewable Resources

What is the BEST definition for solar energy?

• Energy captured in solar panels from kinetic energy

• Light energy from the sun that is captured through solar panels.

• Thermal energy from the sun that is captured through solar pannels

• Energy captured from the areas heated by the Earth

Which are ADVANTAGES of Solar Energy?

• Does not create pollution after installing and lasts for many years.

• Can use all the time and lasts for many years

• No pollution after installing and able to use all the time

• Earth provides solar energy continuously

What are DISADVANTAGES of Solar Energy?

• Creates pollution and destroys rivers

• Cannot be easily installed onto house, and does not work all the time

• Destroys oceans and cannot use all the time

• Cannot use all the time, and creating solar panels causes pollution

What is the BEST definition for wind energy?

• Energy captured in mills from thermal energy

• Converting mechanical energy from wind currents to electrical through wind mills

• Thermal energy from the sun that is captured through wind mills

• Energy captured from the areas heated by the Earth

Which are ADVANTAGES of Wind Energy?

• Does not create pollution after installing and lasts for many years.

• Can use all the time and lasts for many years

• No pollution after installing and able to use all the time

• Earth provides solar energy continuously

What are DISADVANTAGES of Wind Energy?

• Creates pollution and destroys rivers

• Cannot be easily installed onto house, and does not work all the time

• Wind mills can harm flying animals nearby and some find them not attractive to a landscape

• Wind energy can create too much energy and create power surges

What is the BEST definition for Geothermal energy?

• Energy captured in solar panels from kinetic energy

• Light energy from the sun that is captured through solar panels.

• Thermal energy from the sun that is captured through solar pannels

• Energy captured from the areas heated by the Earth like hot springs and geysers

Which are ADVANTAGES of Geothermal Energy?

• Does not create pollution and can be used all of the time.

• Can use most of the time and lasts for many years

• Only needs the sun to be powered

• The sun provides geothermal energy continuously

What are DISADVANTAGES of Geothermal Energy?

• Creates pollution and destroys rivers

• Cannot be easily installed onto house, and does not work all the time

• Can only build in specific areas to use this type of energy

• Wind energy can create too much energy and create power surges

What is the BEST definition for Hydroelectric energy?

• Energy captured in solar panels from radiant energy

• Thermal energy from the river that is captured through tidal panels.

• Converting mechanical energy from moving water to electrical through building dams

• Energy captured from the areas heated by the Earth like hot springs and volcanoes
