    Describe How People Make Use of Renewable Energy

    Uploaded by

    Dana Cardona
    The document describes various renewable energy resources including solar energy, wind energy, hydroelectric power, tidal power, geothermal energy, and biomass energy. It provides descriptions of each type of renewable energy and how they are used. It also categorizes the renewable resources by their advantages and disadvantages. Finally, it asks how wind turbines enable the use of renewable energy resources and answers that wind turbines convert the kinetic energy of wind into electrical energy through generators, allowing wind power to be harnessed and used on a large scale.

    Describe how people make use of renewable energy.

    Type Description of its use


    Solar Energy Energy from the sun which creates solar cells,
    such as those in watches and calculators, capture
    light energy and transform it to electrical energy.
    Wind Energy A group of wind turbines that produce electricity.
    (Wind farms)
    Hydroelectric Power Electricity is produced by flowing water.

    Tidal Power Coastal areas that have great differences


    between high and low tides can be a source of
    tidal power.
    Geothermal Energy Thermal energy from Earth’s interior.

    Biomass Energy Energy produced by burning organic matter, such


    as wood food scraps, and alcohol.

    Classify renewable energy resources by their advantages.

    Advantage Renewable resources


    Nonpolluting Solar energy, Wind energy, Water energy

    Available in the United States Solar energy, Wind energy, Water energy,
    Geothermal energy, Biomass energy
    Relatively inexpensive Wind energy

    Produces little pollution Geothermal energy

    Reduces organic material in landfills Biomass energy

    Categorize renewable resources by their disadvantages.

    -Affected by long periods of no rainfall Water energy


    -Negative impact on aquatic ecosystems
    -Limited to areas with fast-flowing rivers or great
    tidal differences
    -Air pollution Biomass energy
    -Less efficient than fossil fuels

    -Best sites are far from urban areas Wind energy


    -Limited to areas with strong, steady wind
    -Potential impact on bird populations.

    -Habitat disruption from drilling Geothermal energy


    -Limited to tectonically active areas

    -High cost Solar energy


    -Less energy produced on cloudy days
    -No energy produced at nights
    -Requires large surface area

    Evaluate proportions of energy resources in the United States.

    Identify one way to encourage use of renewable energy resources.

    A way to encourage someone to use renewable energy resources instead is by showing them the
    benefits. Renewable energy resources include little or no pollution and are more available because they
    are renewable and can be used over and over again.

    Analyze it. How does the turbine enable us to use renewable energy resources?
    It helps us use renewable energy resources because of wind power, and since wind power is a clean and
    renewable energy source, this means it’s natural and wouldn’t take much time to produce more of its
    energy.Wind turbines can produce electricity on a large scale. The rotation of the wind turbines turns
    into kinetic energy that is connected to a generator that as it spins creates electricity.
