3. b) Non-renewable energy sources are costly. Fossil, oil, coal, gas etc. are non-renewable energy sources.
4. c) Our Earth’s interior contains molten lava with tremendous heat.
5. d) Hydrogen and Oxygen remain in water.
6. e) Hydrogen is separated from another element. It is the most abundant element in nature. But it does not exist separately as a gas. It can be burned as a fuel to produce electricity.
7. f) Hydroelectric energy can be captured with wind turbines to produce electricity. The wind and the sun’s heat cause water to evaporate. This water vapour turns into rain or snow and flows downhill into rivers or streams.
8. g) The most renewable energy comes directly or indirectly from the sun. Sunlight or solar energy can be used for heating and lighting homes, for generating electricity.
9. h) Plants need to grow rain and, sunlight etc.
10. i) We get biomass from plants. Because plants produce biomass which again can be turned into fuels such as fire wood, alcohol etc.
11. j) Re-newable energy sources never run out because renewable types of energy can be used again and again. They are constantly and naturally replenished.
