Task Overview:
The task involves matching energy sources to their corresponding images and classifying them as either
renewable (R) or
non-renewable (N). Below is the step-by-step solution with explanations.
---
Step 1: Identify Each Image and Match It to the Correct Energy Source
#### Top Row:
1.
Image 1: Stacks of wood
- This represents
Biomass.
- Biomass is a renewable energy source because it comes from organic materials that can be replenished over time.
2.
Image 2: Train carrying coal
- This represents
Coal.
- Coal is a non-renewable energy source because it takes millions of years to form and cannot be replenished quickly.
3.
Image 3: Barrels of oil
- This represents
Crude Oil.
- Crude oil is a non-renewable energy source for the same reason as coal.
4.
Image 4: Landfill or waste site
- This represents
Geothermal.
- Geothermal energy is renewable because it harnesses heat from the Earth's core, which is continuously available.
5.
Image 5: Atomic symbol
- This represents
Nuclear.
- Nuclear energy is non-renewable because it relies on uranium, which is a finite resource.
#### Middle Row:
6.
Image 6: Tidal generator in water
- This represents
Tidal.
- Tidal energy is renewable because tides are driven by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun, which are continuous processes.
7.
Image 7: Cross-section of Earth showing geothermal activity
- This represents
Geothermal.
- Already explained above; geothermal is renewable.
8.
Image 8: Blue flame (gas)
- This represents
Natural Gas.
- Natural gas is non-renewable because it is a fossil fuel formed over millions of years.
9.
Image 9: Solar panels under sunlight
- This represents
Solar.
- Solar energy is renewable because it harnesses sunlight, which is an endless resource.
10.
Image 10: Wind turbines
- This represents
Wind.
- Wind energy is renewable because wind is a continuous and natural phenomenon.
#### Bottom Row:
- These are the energy sources provided for matching. They have already been matched to the images above.

Step 2: Classify Each Energy Source as Renewable (R) or Non-Renewable (N)
Using the matches and classifications from above:
1.
Biomass: Renewable (R)
2.
Coal: Non-renewable (N)
3.
Crude Oil: Non-renewable (N)
4.
Geothermal: Renewable (R)
5.
Nuclear: Non-renewable (N)
6.
Tidal: Renewable (R)
7.
Natural Gas: Non-renewable (N)
8.
Solar: Renewable (R)
9.
Wind: Renewable (R)

Final Answer:
Here is the completed worksheet with matches and classifications:
#### Top Row:
1. Biomass (R)
2. Coal (N)
3. Crude Oil (N)
4. Geothermal (R)
5. Nuclear (N)
#### Middle Row:
6. Tidal (R)
7. Geothermal (R)
8. Natural Gas (N)
9. Solar (R)
10. Wind (R)
#### Classification Summary:
- Renewable (R): Biomass, Geothermal, Tidal, Solar, Wind
- Non-Renewable (N): Coal, Crude Oil, Nuclear, Natural Gas
Final Answer Boxed:
\[
\boxed{
\begin{array}{c}
\text{Top Row: Biomass (R), Coal (N), Crude Oil (N), Geothermal (R), Nuclear (N)} \\
\text{Middle Row: Tidal (R), Geothermal (R), Natural Gas (N), Solar (R), Wind (R)}
\end{array}
}
\]
