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
Energy resources are needed for
heating
, cooling, and lighting homes and buildings.
True
Fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas are non-renewable and contribute significantly to greenhouse gas
emissions
Order the main types of energy resources by their sustainability:
1️⃣ Fossil Fuels
2️⃣ Nuclear
3️⃣ Renewable
What is one example of energy conservation mentioned in the material?
Using efficient appliances
Why is energy diversification important in resource management?
Reduces over-reliance on single source
Why is energy crucial for powering economic activity and development?
Factories, businesses, and infrastructure rely on it
What are the main types of energy resources?
Fossil fuels, nuclear, renewable
Renewable energy sources have a low carbon footprint but may require significant
land
Energy diversification involves using a mix of energy resources to reduce over-reliance on a single
source
What is the main benefit of energy efficiency in sustainable practices?
Reduces greenhouse gas emissions
Fossil fuels are renewable energy resources.
False
Energy that uses uranium is non-
renewable
Match the method of energy resource management with its description:
Energy Conservation ↔️ Reducing energy consumption through efficiency measures
