Natural Resources

What is the difference between renewable and nonrenewable resources?

• Renewable resources can be replenished naturally, while nonrenewable resources are finite and cannot be replaced in a short time.

• Renewable resources are more expensive to produce than nonrenewable resources.

• Nonrenewable resources can be replenished naturally, while renewable resources are finite.

• Renewable resources are found only in specific regions, while nonrenewable resources are available everywhere.

What is biomass energy?

• Energy produced from fossil fuels.

• Energy produced from organic materials, such as plant and animal waste.

• Energy generated from nuclear reactions.

• Energy derived from solar panels.

What is wind energy?

• Energy obtained from the movement of air, typically harnessed using wind turbines.

• Energy generated from solar panels.

• Energy produced by burning fossil fuels.

• Energy derived from geothermal sources.

What is an example of a natural resource?

• Water

• Plastic

• Concrete

• Steel

What is the role of photovoltaic cells?

• Photovoltaic cells convert sunlight directly into electricity.

• Photovoltaic cells store electricity for later use.

• Photovoltaic cells are used to heat water.

• Photovoltaic cells are used in batteries to increase capacity.

What is the process of energy generation in hydroelectric power?

• Capturing the energy of flowing water to turn turbines that generate electricity.

• Using solar panels to convert sunlight into electricity.

• Burning fossil fuels to create steam that turns turbines.

• Harnessing wind energy to generate electricity through windmills.

What is nuclear fission?

• A process where two atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy.

• A process in which the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts, releasing a significant amount of energy.

• A method of generating electricity using solar panels.

• A chemical reaction that occurs when atoms are combined with oxygen.

What is hydroelectric energy?

• Energy produced from the movement of water, typically using dams to generate electricity.

• Energy generated from solar panels.

• Energy derived from wind turbines.

• Energy created by burning fossil fuels.

What is the significance of natural resources?

• They are only important for industrial development.

• They provide food, energy, and materials for shelter and clothing.

• They are primarily used for recreational activities.

• They have no significant impact on human life.

What is solar energy?

• Solar energy is energy that is harnessed from the sun's rays using technologies like photovoltaic cells.

• Solar energy is energy derived from the wind.

• Solar energy is energy produced by burning fossil fuels.

• Solar energy is energy generated from nuclear reactions.
