Name three renewable energy sources.

a)

Tidal, wave, fossil fuels

b)

Coal, oil, natural gas

c)

Solar, wind, hydroelectric

d)

Nuclear, geothermal, biomass

3.

What are energy-efficient technologies and how do they help combat climate change?

a)

Energy-efficient technologies reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

b)

Energy-efficient technologies only work in certain climates and not others.

c)

Energy-efficient technologies increase energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

d)

Energy-efficient technologies have no impact on energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
