• It can replenish itself quickly and reliably.

• It is derived from fossil fuels.

• It can be used only once.

Why is solar power considered a renewable energy source?

• It is cheaper than fossil fuels.

• Solar panels are made from renewable materials.

• The sun will emit light energy for billions of years.

• The sun's energy is limited.

How is geothermal energy generated?

• Through solar panels.

• By using wind turbines.

• From the Earth's core producing thermal heat energy.

• By burning coal.

What makes wind power a renewable energy source?

• It relies on fossil fuels.

• It uses a limited resource.

• It converts motion energy from continuous breezes.

• It is only available in certain areas.

Why are fossil fuels considered non-renewable?

• They can be replaced quickly.

• Once used, they cannot be replaced.
