Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Geothermal energy.

Geothermal energy is the heat from the Earth. It is clean and sustainable. Resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the Earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma.

Wind turbines convert which of the following energy into mechanical energy?

  1. Potential energy

  2. Kinetic energy

  3. Solar energy

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Kinetic energy,

Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power. This mechanical power can be used for specific tasks (such as grinding grain or pumping water) or a generator can convert this mechanical power into electricity to power homes, businesses, schools, and the like.

The main source of energy for all living beings on earth is:

  1. bio energy

  2. hydral energy

  3. wind energy

  4. solar energy
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Solar energy is the renewable source of energy which is essential for all living beings.All plant life needs solar energy to prepare their food by photosynthesis and the animal life is dependent on plants directly or indirectly.So it is the prime source of energy.

    What is the primary source of energy ?

  1. Tides

  2. Wood

  3. Cow dunk

  4. Sun
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The Sun is the primary source of energy for Earth's climate system is the first of seven Essential Principles of Climate Sciences. Principle 1 sets the stage for understanding Earth's climate system and energy balance. The Sun warms the planet, drives the hydrologic cycle, and makes life on Earth possible.Each second, more than four million tonnes of matter are converted into energy within the Sun's core, producing neutrinos and solar radiation.

Multiple choice physics work, energy and power forms of energy and energy conservation energy for everything forms of energy

Geothermal energy is feasible in regions that

  1. Are near the sea

  2. Have thermal plants

  3. Have coal mines

  4. Are over hot spots in the crust
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
