Renewable Energy Resources

What is the main benefit of using renewable energy sources?

• They reduce pollution and are sustainable over time.

• They are cheaper than fossil fuels.

• They require less maintenance than traditional energy sources.

• They can be used to generate nuclear energy.

Define Renewable Energy.

• Energy that is collected from resources that are naturally replenished, such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves, and geothermal heat.

• Energy that is derived from fossil fuels and is not sustainable.

• Energy that is generated from nuclear reactions and is non-renewable.

• Energy that is produced by burning organic materials like wood and coal.

What is the role of turbines in renewable energy?

• Turbines convert kinetic energy from wind or water into mechanical energy, which is then converted into electricity.

• Turbines are used to store energy generated from solar panels.

• Turbines help in the extraction of fossil fuels from the earth.

• Turbines are primarily used for heating water in residential buildings.

What is the process of converting wind energy into electricity called?

• Wind Turbine Operation

• Solar Panel Conversion

• Hydroelectric Generation

• Geothermal Energy Extraction

How do renewable fuels differ from fossil fuels?

• Renewable fuels can be used over and over.

• Fossil fuels are more environmentally friendly.

• Renewable fuels are derived from ancient organic matter.

• Fossil fuels are renewable resources.

Which of the following is NOT a renewable energy source?

• Solar

• Wind

• Coal

What is Solar Energy?

• Energy harnessed from the sun's rays, often converted into electricity or heat.

• Energy produced by burning fossil fuels.

• Energy generated from wind turbines.

• Energy derived from nuclear reactions.

What is Hydropower?

• Energy generated from the movement of water, typically from rivers or dams.

• Energy produced by solar panels.

• Energy derived from wind turbines.

• Energy created by burning fossil fuels.

What renewable energy resource uses steam from the earth to turn turbines?

• Solar energy.

• Wind energy.

• Geothermal energy.

• Hydropower.

What is the environmental impact of fossil fuels?

• Fossil fuels create a greater amount of pollution compared to renewable energy sources.

• Fossil fuels have no impact on the environment.

• Fossil fuels are cleaner than solar energy.

• Fossil fuels contribute to a decrease in air quality.
