Renewable vs Non-Renewable Resources

The video discusses renewable and non-renewable resources, highlighting their differences and environmental impacts. Non-renewable resources like coal, oil, and natural gas have a finite supply and contribute to carbon emissions. Renewable resources, such as solar and wind power, are abundant and environmentally friendly. The video also covers the importance of energy storage through batteries, which enhances the efficiency of renewable energy use.

What is the primary difference between renewable and non-renewable resources?

• Non-renewable resources are environmentally friendly.

• Renewable resources have a limited supply.

• Renewable resources have an unlimited supply.

• Non-renewable resources can be replenished quickly.

Which of the following is NOT a non-renewable resource?

• Solar power

• Natural gas

• Coal

• Oil

Why do non-renewable resources have a limited supply?

• They take millions of years to form.

• They are produced faster than they are used.

• They are abundant in nature.

• They are not used for energy production.

What is a major environmental impact of using non-renewable resources?

• They reduce carbon emissions.

• They are completely safe for the environment.

• They have no impact on the environment.

• They increase carbon emissions.

Which of the following is a renewable resource?

• Oil

• Natural gas

• Coal

• Wind power

How is solar energy harnessed?

• Using nuclear reactors

• By burning fossil fuels

• Through wind turbines

• By capturing sunlight

What is a wind farm?

• A type of non-renewable resource

• A group of windmills generating electricity

• A dam used for hydropower

• A place where solar panels are installed

How does hydropower generate energy?

• By burning coal

• By capturing sunlight

• Using wind turbines

• Through water pressure and turbines

What role do batteries play in renewable energy?

• They are used to mine uranium.

• They store energy for later use.

• They generate energy from fossil fuels.

• They increase carbon emissions.

What is the benefit of better batteries in renewable energy?

• They increase the cost of renewable energy.

• They reduce the need for renewable resources.

• They allow for more efficient use of renewable resources.

• They make fossil fuels more efficient.
