Let's solve this step-by-step by matching each renewable energy resource to its correct description based on the information provided.
---
1. Biomass Fuel
-
Image: Shows wood chips, straw, and other organic materials.
-
Correct Description:
> "This fuel is obtained from plants or from animal waste. This includes straw, cow dung, sewage and even rubbish."
-
✔ Match: Biomass Fuel → This fuel is obtained from plants or from animal waste...
---
2. Hydroelectric Power
-
Image: Shows a dam with water flowing through it.
-
Correct Description:
> "This uses the natural flow of water to turn water turbines to generate electricity."
-
✔ Match: Hydroelectric power → This uses the natural flow of water...
---
3. Solar Heaters
-
Image: Shows large reflective surfaces (like solar thermal collectors).
-
Correct Description:
> "This uses energy from the sun to heat water directly."
-
✔ Match: Solar heaters → This uses energy from the sun to heat water directly.
---
4. Solar Cells
-
Image: Shows photovoltaic panels.
-
Correct Description:
> "These cells are used to transfer energy from the sun directly into electricity."
-
✔ Match: Solar cells → These cells are used to transfer energy from the sun directly into electricity.
---
5. Geothermal Power
-
Image: Shows steam rising from the ground in a geothermal area.
-
Correct Description:
> "In some places, rocks under the ground are hot. Water can be heated by pumping it through the rocks."
-
✔ Match: Geothermal power → In some places, rocks under the ground are hot...
---
6. Wind Turbines
-
Image: Shows a wind turbine.
-
Correct Description:
> "Used to generate electricity from the wind. The wind turns the large blades and the blades turn a generator."
-
✔ Match: Wind turbines → Used to generate electricity from the wind...
---
✔ Final Matching Summary:
| Renewable Resource | Correct Description |
|------------------------|---------------------|
|
Biomass Fuel | This fuel is obtained from plants or from animal waste... |
|
Hydroelectric power| This uses the natural flow of water to turn water turbines... |
|
Solar heaters | This uses energy from the sun to heat water directly. |
|
Solar cells | These cells are used to transfer energy from the sun directly into electricity. |
|
Geothermal power | In some places, rocks under the ground are hot... |
|
Wind turbines | Used to generate electricity from the wind... |
