1. True: Renewable energy sources - like solar, wind, hydro - all come from natural processes, that renew themselves. This means they won't run out.
2. True: Wind turbines spin to generate electricity by capturing the wind's kinetic energy with their blades. This turns a shaft connected to a generator, converting that motion into electrical energy that is then sent to the grid or used locally
3. False: Our carbon footprint is the amount of greenhouse gases generated by our daily activities.
4. True: Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas that traps heat in Earth's atmosphere, allowing sunlight in but preventing some heat from escaping, a process called the greenhouse effect.
5. True: 1kWh represents 1,000 watts of power used for one hour.
6. False: fossil fuels are non-renewable resources, this means that their supplies are finite and will eventually run out
7. False: Solar is a type of RENEWABLE energy.
8. True: Hydropower isthe process of converting the energy from moving or falling water into electricity,
9. True: When fossil fuels are burned, they release large amounts of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere. This traps heat and warms the planet.
10. True: Electricity is amazing, but it is also a powerful and potentially deadly form of energy that requires safety precautions to prevent severe injury, and property damage.
