A. energy that comes from harnessing the movement of the air
B. a source of renewable energy, such as solar, wind, or geothermal energy
C. energy that comes from the Sun
D. Fuel from plant material
Answers
Answer:
(a) energy that comes from the Sun
Wind energy is the movement of air, harnessed to produce electricity or power machinery. Wind energy has been used to pump water for centuries, and wind farms have powered generators for years
(b) a source of renewable energy, such as solar, wind, or geothermal energy
Renewable energy flows involve natural phenomena such as sunlight, wind, tides, plant growth, and geothermal heat, as the International Energy Agency explains: Renewable energy is derived from natural processes that are replenished constantly.
(c) energy that comes from the Sun
The sun generates energy from a process called nuclear fusion. During nuclear fusion, the high pressure and temperature in the sun's core cause nuclei to separate from their electrons. Hydrogen nuclei fuse to form one helium atom. During the fusion process, radiant energy is released.
(d) lFuel from plant material
Biofuel is one type of fuel that shows a lot of promise for our energy future, because it is both renewable and environmentally friendly. In other words, biofuel is sustainable. Biofuels are usually produced from plant materials that cannot be eaten by humans, such as corn stalks, grasses, and wood chips.
