Question

1) Read the paragraph and answer the questions given below: [5]

Renewable energy is energy produced from sources that do not deplete or can be

replenished within a human’s life time. The most common examples include wind, solar,

geothermal, biomass and hydroelectric power. This is in contrast to non-renewable sources such as

fossil fuels. Most renewable energy is derived directly or indirectly from the sun. Sunlight can be

captured directly using solar technologies. The sun’s heat drives winds, whose energy is captured

with turbines. Plants also rely on the sun to grow and their stored energy can be utilized for

bioenergy. Not all renewable energy sources rely on the sun. For example, geothermal energy

utilizes the Earth’s internal heat, tidal energy relies on the gravitational pull of the moon and

hydroelectric power relies on the flow of water.

1) What is renewable energy?

2) Give the example of renewable energy?

3) Why will energy from fossil fuel be over soon?

4) Name the renewable sources of energy which are not dependent on sun, what are they

dependent upon?

5) Which type of energy do we mostly use in India?​
