Which of the following is a renewable energy source?

  1. Fossil Fuels

  2. Solar Energy

  3. Nuclear Energy

  4. Hydroelectric Power


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Solar energy is a renewable energy source because it is derived from the sun, which is a constantly replenished source of energy.

Which of the following is a non-renewable energy source?

  1. Wind Energy

  2. Geothermal Energy

  3. Biomass Energy

  4. Coal


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Coal is a non-renewable energy source because it is formed from the remains of plants that lived millions of years ago. Once coal is burned, it cannot be replaced.

Which of the following is an advantage of renewable energy sources?

  1. They are more expensive than non-renewable energy sources.

  2. They produce greenhouse gases.

  3. They are finite and will eventually run out.

  4. They are sustainable and do not contribute to climate change.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Renewable energy sources are sustainable because they are derived from sources that are constantly replenished, such as the sun, wind, and water. They do not produce greenhouse gases, which contribute to climate change.

Which of the following is a disadvantage of renewable energy sources?

  1. They are more reliable than non-renewable energy sources.

  2. They are always available.

  3. They can be stored for later use.

  4. They can be intermittent and unpredictable.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Renewable energy sources can be intermittent and unpredictable, meaning that they may not be available when they are needed. For example, solar energy is not available at night, and wind energy is not available when the wind is not blowing.

Which of the following is an example of a renewable energy source that is used to generate electricity?

  1. Fossil Fuels

  2. Nuclear Energy

  3. Hydroelectric Power

  4. Geothermal Energy


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Hydroelectric power is a renewable energy source that is used to generate electricity by harnessing the power of moving water.

Which of the following is an example of a non-renewable energy source that is used to generate electricity?

  1. Solar Energy

  2. Wind Energy

  3. Biomass Energy

  4. Coal


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Coal is a non-renewable energy source that is used to generate electricity by burning it in a power plant.

Which of the following is an example of a renewable energy source that is used to heat homes and businesses?

  1. Fossil Fuels

  2. Nuclear Energy

  3. Geothermal Energy

  4. Biomass Energy


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Geothermal energy is a renewable energy source that is used to heat homes and businesses by harnessing the heat from the Earth's core.

Which of the following is an example of a non-renewable energy source that is used to heat homes and businesses?

  1. Solar Energy

  2. Wind Energy

  3. Natural Gas

  4. Propane


Correct Option: C
