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

Geothermal energy is the heat energy which is obtained from the interior of the Earth. However, this energy is not equally available everywhere and is concentrated in some parts of the world such as natural geysers. This is a natural and renewable source of energy that can be used for heating processes in various activities.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.

B Correct answer
Explanation

Fossil fuels are nonrenewable conventional energy resources found inside the earth's crust where they have been formed through heat and compression on forests and other organic matter buried underneath due to earthquakes, landslides, lava etc. Fossil fuels can be solid, e.g., coal; liquid, e.g., petroleum; or gaseous, e.g., natural gas.

Explanation

Inexhaustible resource is a natural resource, which is found in such abundance, that it is unlikely to diminish or get exhausted. E.g., air, solar energy, wind power, rainfall etc.
Exhaustible resource is a natural resource, which is likely to diminish and get exhausted due to continuous use or exploitation. E.g., minerals, fossil fuels, forests etc. Exhaustible resources are of two types renewable and non-renewable.
Renewable exhaustible resource is a natural resource, which gets replenished, recycled or reproduced. E.g., forests, water, agriculture etc.
Non-Renewable exhaustible resource is a natural resource, which is likely to get exhausted with use. E.g., fossil fuels like petroleum, minerals and metals, Coal.

Which of the following is a non - renewable energy source?

  1. Hydropower

  2. Tidal power

  3. Geothermal energy

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

Energy sources are of two categories, renewable and non renewable. 

Non renewable resources include fossil fuels (petroleum, natural gas, coal) and nuclear fuel (mostly uranium, which is in limited supply). Use of both of them causes pollution. Fossil fuel cause oil spills, acid rain, air pollution, water pollution etc. Nuclear energy may give rise to radiation pollution. 
Renewable resources of energy include biomass energy and some forms of inexhaustible energy like solar energy, hydro power, wind power etc. They are less polluting but far more expensive due to technological incipiency.
