Energy Sources

Energy sources can be renewable or non-renewable.
Renewable energy sources can be replenished within human lifespans.
Non-renewable energy is finite and cannot be replenished within a human timescale.
Renewable energy sources include solar, wind, and biomass energy.
Non-renewable energy sources include nuclear energy and fossil fuels.
Fossil fuels take millions of years to form from the remains of photosynthetic organisms.
Geothermal energy is derived from the Earth's core.
Tidal energy is generated by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun.
Solar energy powers the water cycle and enables photosynthesis.
The sun emits light, which creates wind.
Biomass energy is derived from burning wood, biodiesel, or bioethanol.
Nuclear energy is a non-renewable energy source.

Energy Distribution

The United States generates less than 10% of its energy from renewable sources.
Costa Rica generates more than 99% of its electricity from renewables.

Energy Impacts

All energy sources have environmental and health costs.
The distribution of energy is not equally distributed among all nations.

Test your knowledge on various energy sources and their distribution around the world. This quiz covers both renewable and non-renewable energy types, including solar, wind, nuclear, and fossil fuels. Understand how different countries leverage these energy sources for their needs.
