Renewable energy can be defined as:
Energy flows which are used more slowly than they are replenished
Energy flows that are never used
Energy flows that are replenished more slowly than they are used
Energy flows that are replenished at the same rate as they are used
The amount of energy in our universe is finite. It is a constant amount.
True
False
In 2009, we were using energy on Earth at a rate equivalent to:
500ml of oil per day for every human on the planet
5.5 ltrs of oil per day for every human on the planet
50 ltrs of oil per day for every human on the planet
500 ltrs of oil per day for every human on the planet
The global population of the world in 2021 is just under:

Which of the following is an example of direct solar energy usage:
Solar radiation
Wind power
Geothermal
Water power
Which of the following is an example of a technology that uses Direct Solar Energy:
Wind Turbines
Photo voltaic panels
Ground Source Heat Pumps
Hydro Power
Which of the following is an example of a technology that uses indirect solar energy?
Solar Panels
Double Glazed Windows
Ground Source Heat Pumps
PV Panels
Hydropower uses solar energy indirectly because:
The heat from the sun causes air movement which creates strong winds, this kinetic energy is converted to electrical energy
The heat from the sun warms the oceans and causes water vapour, which in turn feeds rivers whose energy is captured in turbines
Tidal Energy is the same as Wave Energy
True
False
Which of the following is an example of a technology that uses geothermal energy?
Hydroelectricity
Blue Green Roof
Ground source heat pumps
Biomass Wood Boiler
