Renewable and Nonrenewable Energy (SOL Review 2025)

What is Natural Gas?

• A renewable energy source derived from plants

• An invisible, odorless gas that is a fossil fuel

• A type of liquid used in cooking

• A solid mineral found underground

What is Wind energy?

• Energy obtained from the wind using turbines.

• Energy generated from solar panels.

• Energy produced by burning fossil fuels.

• Energy harnessed from geothermal sources.

Define Biomass energy.

• Biomass energy is energy created by burning plant and animal wastes.

• Biomass energy is energy derived from fossil fuels.

• Biomass energy is energy generated from solar panels.

• Biomass energy is energy produced by nuclear reactions.

What is the difference between Renewable and Nonrenewable energy?

• Renewable energy can be replenished naturally, while Nonrenewable energy comes from sources that cannot be replaced quickly.

• Renewable energy is more expensive than Nonrenewable energy.

• Nonrenewable energy is always cleaner than Renewable energy.

• Renewable energy sources are limited and cannot be used indefinitely.

What is the main environmental concern with fossil fuels?

• The burning of fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases, contributing to global warming.

• Fossil fuels are non-renewable resources that will eventually run out.

• Fossil fuels are cheaper than renewable energy sources.

• The extraction of fossil fuels causes habitat destruction.

What is Hydroelectric energy?

• Energy generated by the movement of water, typically through dams.

• Energy produced by solar panels converting sunlight into electricity.

• Energy derived from the heat of the Earth's core.

• Energy generated by wind turbines converting wind into electricity.
