Renewable and Nonrenewable Energy - Worksheet | Printable and ... - Free Printable

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 Bioenergy or Biomass energy
- Organic material like plants, wood, or agricultural waste is burned or converted into fuel.

2. Wind turbines → This represents Wind energy
- Wind turns turbine blades to generate electricity.

3. Sun with solar panels → This represents Solar energy
- The sun’s rays are captured by photovoltaic cells to produce electricity.

4. Hydropower dam → This represents Hydropower or Hydroelectric energy
- Water flowing through dams generates electricity.

5. Tidal power station (water movement with turbines) → This represents Tidal energy
- Uses the rise and fall of tides to generate electricity.

🔹 Nonrenewable Energy Resources (Right Side)

Now, the images on the right represent nonrenewable sources:

1. Oil barrels → This represents Petroleum or Crude oil
- A fossil fuel used for gasoline, diesel, and other products.

2. Flame (gas) → This represents Natural gas
- A fossil fuel primarily composed of methane, used for heating and electricity.

3. Coal cart → This represents Coal
- A solid fossil fuel burned to produce electricity.

4. Nuclear power plant → This represents Nuclear energy
- Although not a fossil fuel, nuclear energy is considered nonrenewable because uranium (the fuel) is finite.

> Note: While some debate exists about nuclear energy classification, it is generally classified as nonrenewable due to limited fuel supply.

✔ Final Answer:

#### Renewable Energy (Left):
1. Biomass
2. Wind
3. Solar
4. Hydropower
5. Tidal

#### Nonrenewable Energy (Right):
1. Petroleum (or Crude oil)
2. Natural gas
3. Coal
4. Nuclear energy
