Cards (45)

  • Energy resources are sources of energy that can be converted into usable forms, such as electricity or heat
  • Match the type of energy resource with its characteristic:
    Fossil Fuels ↔️ Non-renewable, formed from ancient organisms
    Nuclear ↔️ Non-renewable, uses uranium
    Renewable ↔️ Replenished naturally, includes solar
  • Which renewable energy sources are mentioned in the material?
    Solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, biofuels
  • Fossil fuels cause high greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution
  • Renewable energy development reduces reliance on non-renewable fossil fuels.
    True
  • Renewable energy development aims to reduce reliance on non-renewable fossil
