What is hydro power?

Back

Hydro power is energy generated from the movement of water, typically from rivers and lakes, to produce electricity.

Front

What is wind power?

Back

Wind power is energy generated from the wind using turbines to produce electricity. It is one of the most economical sources of renewable energy.

Front

What is solar power?

Back

Solar power is energy harnessed from sunlight using solar panels to generate electricity or heat.

Front

What is biomass energy?

Back

Biomass energy is energy produced from organic materials, such as plants and animal waste, which can be used for fuel.

Front

What is geothermal energy?

Back

Geothermal energy is heat energy generated and stored in the Earth, which can be used for heating and electricity.

Front

What are renewable energy sources?

Back

Renewable energy sources are energy sources that can be replenished naturally, such as solar, wind, hydro, and biomass.

Front

What are non-renewable energy sources?

Back

Non-renewable energy sources are energy sources that cannot be replenished in a short period, such as fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas).

Front

What is energy transformation?

Back

Energy transformation is the process of changing energy from one form to another, such as converting solar energy into electrical energy.
