Renewable and Non-Renewable Energy Sources Quiz

• Energy is anything capable of causing a change in matter. It is present everywhere and can be transformed or transferred between objects.
• Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed or transferred.
• There are two types of energy sources: renewable and non-renewable.
• Renewable energy sources come from natural sources that do not deplete, such as solar, wind, and water.
• Solar energy comes from the sun and can be converted into thermal or electric energy.
• Wind energy is generated by the motion of wind and can be converted into electric energy.
• Hydroelectric energy is generated by the movement of water and is stored in dams or embalses.
• Geothermal energy is obtained from the heat within the earth and can be used for heating or electricity generation.
• Renewable energy sources are environmentally friendly, as they do not emit CO2 or harmful gases.
• Non-renewable energy sources include fossil fuels and nuclear energy.
• Fossil fuels, such as petroleum, are finite resources that can be extracted and burned for energy.
• Coal is a non-renewable resource that is extracted from the ground and burned for heating or electricity generation.
• Natural gas is extracted from the ground and used for heating and electricity generation.
• Nuclear energy is generated from the fission of uranium and can be converted into electric energy.
• Non-renewable energy sources have negative environmental impacts, including air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
• To meet global energy demands and protect the environment, it is important to reduce the use of non-renewable energy sources and increase the use of renewable energy sources.
