Sample questions

1. Which of the following is a non-renewable energy resource?

   1. Solar energy
   2. Wind energy
   3. Coal
   4. Hydroelectric energy
   Show answer

   Answer: C. Coal

   Coal is a fossil fuel formed over millions of years and once depleted, cannot be replenished in a human lifetime, making it non-renewable. Solar, wind, and hydroelectric energy are naturally replenished.

2. The energy harnessed from the movement of ocean tides is known as:

   1. Wave energy
   2. Tidal energy
   3. Ocean thermal energy
   4. Current energy
   Show answer

   Answer: B. Tidal energy

   Tidal energy specifically refers to the energy generated from the rise and fall of ocean tides, caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun.

3. The most abundant and widely used renewable energy source globally is:

   1. Wind power
   2. Geothermal power
   3. Hydropower
   4. Solar power
   Show answer
