ENERGY RESOURCES

Question 1

often referred to as clean energy, comes from natural sources or processes that are constantly replenished.

Answer 1

Renewable Energy

Question 2

Is sourced from the sun and is free and inexhaustible.The main source of energy for every living matter in planet.

Answer 2

Solar Energy

Question 3

a renewable energy source that comes from heat stored in the Earth’s core and rocks. The word geothermal comes from the Greek words geo (earth) and therme (heat)

Answer 3

Geothermal Energy

Question 4

TYPES OF GEOTHERMAL ENERGY

Answer 4

A. Liquid Dominated Geothermal Plants
B. Vapor Dominated Geothermal Plants
C. Binary Cycle Plants

Question 5

HOW GEOTHERMAL ENERGY
WORKS

Answer 5

1. Hot water is pumped from deep underground
   through a well under high pressure.
2. When the water reaches the surface, the pressure is
   dropped, which causes the water to turn into steam.
3. The steam spins a turbine, which is connected to a
   generator that produces electricity.
4. The steam cools off in a cooling tower and
   condenses back to water.
5. The cooled water is pumped back into the Earth to
   begin the process again

Question 6

is a renewable energy source that uses the kinetic energy of moving water to generate electricity. It’s one of the oldest and largest sources of renewable energy.

Answer 6

Hydroelectric Energy or Hydropower

Question 7

that creates a large waterfall and stores enough water to supply the plant at all times

Answer 7

Dam

Question 8

that channels water from its natural environment to supply the dam reservoir.

Answer 8

Penstock

Question 9

that houses the turbines driven by the waterfall and the generator driven by the turbines.

Answer 9

Powerhouse

Question 10

TYPES OF HYDRO POWER PLANT

Answer 10

Run of river plants
Off stream plants
Pumped Storage Plants
Wind Energy
Biomass Energy
Tidal Power

Question 11

run of river plants produces energy using the water flow.

Answer 11

Run of river plants

Question 12

are modular,meaning that energy can be produced on demand with dams used to create reservoirs that can be released as required.

Answer 12

Off stream plants

Question 13

when demand is required water is released from the higher reservoir to lower reservoir.

Answer 13

Pumped storage plants

Question 14

collectively describe the process by which the moving air or wind is used to generate mechanical power or electricity.

Answer 14

Wind Energy

Question 15

is energy generated or produced by living or once-living organisms.

Answer 15

Biomass Energy

Question 16

is the energy obtained from the rise and fall of tides.

Answer 16

Tidal Energy

Question 17

TYPES OF HARNESSING TIDAL POWER

Answer 17

Tidal Barrage and Tidal Stream Power

Question 18

power systems take advantage of ocean currents to drive turbines.

Answer 18

Tidal Barrage

Question 19

take advantage of ocean currents to drive turbines, particularly in areas around islands or coasts where these currents are fast.

Answer 19

Tidal Stream Power

Question 20

a type of power station that generates electricity using heat from nuclear reactions.

Answer 20

Nuclear Energy
