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 gravitational pull of the moon and sun to generate energy from ocean tides.

🔹 Nonrenewable Energy Resources (Right Side)

Now let’s identify the nonrenewable sources:

1. Barrels of oil → This represents Petroleum or Oil
- Fossil fuel extracted from underground.

2. Flame (gas) → This represents Natural gas
- A fossil fuel used for heating and electricity.

3. Cart full of coal → This represents Coal
- A solid fossil fuel burned for energy.

4. Nuclear power plant (with radiation symbol) → This represents Nuclear energy
- Energy from splitting atoms (nuclear fission), using uranium or plutonium.

> Note: While nuclear energy is not renewable (the fuel is finite), it is often classified separately. But since this worksheet groups it under nonrenewable, we’ll follow that convention.
