Renewable / Non Renewable Energy Sources

Question 1

Renewable

Answer 1

When sources will never run out

Question 2

No renewable

Answer 2

When sour as will eventually run out

Question 3

Energy sources

Answer 3

They generate electricity. Sow ting must turn a turbine ( wheel ).
We can use this using diff e.g. Energy resources

Question 4

Fossil fuels:

Advantage

Answer 4

Advantage:
Can be useful all the time
Releases lots of energy

Question 5

Fossil fuels:

Disadvantages

Answer 5

Pollutes - releases lots of carbon dioxide
Using it too sparsely
Non renewable
When burnt carbon dioxide is released = global warming
Can cause acid rain

Question 6

Nuclear fuels

Advantage

Answer 6

Lasts longer that fossil fuels do
No carbon dioxide is produced = no pollution
Cheap electricity

Question 7

Nuclear disadvantages:

Answer 7

Nuclear waste is radioactive

Accidents that occur can cause cancer

Question 8

Renewable energy resources

Answer 8

Wind power 
Solar panel 
Tidal power
Hydro electric 
Biofuel

Question 9

How does it turn the turbine

Wind power

Answer 9

Wind turns the turbine

Question 10

Advantages solar

Answer 10

Houses can supply their own electricity

Question 11

Disadvantage solar

Answer 11

Expensive

Depends on the sun bing out, not suitable for less sunny countries

Question 12

Advantages wind

Answer 12

Provides a lot of electricity in windy places

Question 13

Disadvantage wind

Answer 13

Expensive
Unattractive
Noisy
Wind to work

Question 14

Advantages tidal

Answer 14

Good for places with coast line

Predictable

Question 15

Disadvantage tidal

Answer 15

Expensive 
certain areas 
Not a continues supply of energy 
Natural habitats 
Unattractive

Question 16

Advantages hydroelectric

Answer 16

Creates water reserves as wells

Question 17

Disadvantage hydroelectric

Answer 17

Natural habitat destroyed

Flooding in near by areas

Question 18

Biofuel advantage

Answer 18

Cheap
Always available
Won’t run out if replaced
Takes in CO2 and releases CO2 = carbon neutral - when burnt

Question 19

Disadvantage biofuel

Answer 19

CO2 causes greenhouse gases

Land could be used for more useful things e.g. Food

Question 20

How generates electricity solar

Answer 20

Convert sunlight into energy

Question 21

How generates electricity wind

Answer 21

Wind turns the turbine

Question 22

How generates electricity tidal

Answer 22

Movement of the tide coming in and out turns the turbine

Question 23

How generates electricity hydroelectric

Answer 23

Moment of falling water turns turbine

Question 24

How generates electricity biofuel

Answer 24

The heat water used to burn CO2 the steam turns the turbine
