Read the paragraph and answer the questions given below:
Renewable energy is, energy produced from sources that do not deplete or can be replenished within a human’s life time. The most common examples include wind, solar, geothermal, biorhass, and hydroelectric power. This is in contrast to non-renewable sources such as fossil fuels. Most renewable energy is derived directly or indirectly from the sun. Sunlight can be captured directly using solar technologies. The sun’s heat drives winds, whose energy is captured with turbines. Plants also rely on the sun to grow and their stored energy can be utilized for bioenergy. Not all renewable energy sources rely on the sun. For example, geothermal energy utilizes the Earth’s internal heat, tidal energy relies on the gravitational pull of the moon, and hydroelectric power relies on the flow of water.
Questions:
- What is renewable energy?
- Give the examples of renewable energy.
- Why will energy from fossil fuel be over soon?
- Name the renewable sources of energy which are not dependent on sun. What are they dependent upon?
- Which type of energy do we mostly use in India?

- Which type of energy do we mostly use in India?
- Renewable energy is energy that is produced from sources which will not get exhausted within a human’s life time.
- Wind, solar, geothermal, biomass and hydroelectric power are some examples of renewable energy.
- Fossil fuels are exhaustible in their amount. We have been using these extensively in the past 100 years and hence it may get over soon. It is a non-renewable resource.
- Geothermal energy, tidal energy and hydroelectric power are renewable energy resources which are not dependent on sun. Geothermal energy utilizes the Earth’s internal heat, tidal energy relies on the gravitational pull of the moon, and hydropower relies on the flow of water.
- The most used energy resource is coal, i.e. fossil fuel based energy followed by hydroelectric energy.
