Let's solve the worksheet step by step.

Q.1: Name the energy resource for the pictures below to identify renewable and nonrenewable energy resources.
We are given two categories:
-
Renewable Energy (resources that can be replenished naturally)
-
Nonrenewable Energy (resources that are finite and cannot be replenished on a human timescale)
---
🔹 Renewable Energy Resources (Left Side)
Each image represents a renewable source. Let's identify them:
1.
🌱 Plant growing in soil
→ This represents
Biomass energy
*(Organic matter like plants, wood, or waste is burned to produce energy)*
2.
🌬️ Wind turbines
→ This represents
Wind energy
*(Wind turns turbine blades to generate electricity)*
3.
☀️ Sun with solar panels
→ This represents
Solar energy
*(Energy from sunlight captured by solar panels)*
4.
💧 Dam with water flowing
→ This represents
Hydropower / Hydroelectric energy
*(Water flowing through dams generates electricity)*
5.
🌊 Wave or tidal power plant
→ This represents
Tidal or Wave energy
*(Energy from ocean tides or waves)*
>
✔ So, Renewable Energy Resources:
> - Biomass
> - Wind
> - Solar
> - Hydropower (or Hydroelectric)
> - Tidal (or Wave)
---
🔹 Nonrenewable Energy Resources (Right Side)
Now, let’s identify the nonrenewable sources:
1.
🛢️ Oil barrels
→ This represents
Petroleum (Oil)
*(Fossil fuel extracted from underground)*
2.
🔥 Flame (gas burning)
→ This represents
Natural Gas
*(A fossil fuel used for heating and electricity)*
3.
🚂 Coal cart (black solid fuel)
→ This represents
Coal
*(A fossil fuel burned to produce electricity)*
4.
🏭 Nuclear power plant with radiation symbol
→ This represents
Nuclear energy
*(Uses uranium or plutonium; not renewable, but sometimes classified separately — it's nonrenewable because fuel is finite)*
>
✔ So, Nonrenewable Energy Resources:
> - Petroleum (Oil)
> - Natural Gas
> - Coal
> - Nuclear

✔ Final Answer:
####
Renewable Energy:
1.
Biomass
2.
Wind
3.
Solar
4.
Hydropower
5.
Tidal (or Wave)
####
Nonrenewable Energy:
1.
Petroleum (Oil)
2.
Natural Gas
3.
Coal
4.
Nuclear

📝 Summary Table:
| Renewable | Nonrenewable |
|----------|--------------|
| Biomass | Petroleum (Oil) |
| Wind | Natural Gas |
| Solar | Coal |
| Hydropower | Nuclear |
| Tidal | |
