We capture sunlight with electric panels and convert it into electricity. This is a renewable resource because sunlight will keep on shining as long as the sun is active.
Solar Energy
It is derived from the energy of falling or fast-running water. It is considered a renewable energy source because the water cycle is renewed by the sun.
Hydroelectric Energy
What is the unit of measurement of Power Consumption?
It's kWh.
The water on the surface of the ocean gets heated by the sun, becoming heavier than the cold water below, and goes down while the cold water below goes up, gets heated and restarts the process it. It uses turbines to create electricity.
Ocean Thermal Energy
Turbines convert the motion of wind into mechanical or electricity. It is considered a renewable energy source.
Wind Energy
It is derived from organic material that comes from plants and animals. When it is burned the chemical energy is released as heat and can generate electricity with a steam turbine. It can also be transformed into biofuel.
Biomass Energy
It is derived from the heat beneath the surface of earth. The high temperature in the center of the earth heats rocks and water nearby. By digging wells, the water brings this thermal energy up with it.
