AMROU BEN CHINA YASSINE AIT TALEB what are energy sources? Energy sources refer to the means by which we generate power to meet our needs. Energy sources are the various means by which we obtain the energy required to power our homes, industries, vehicles, and more. These sources can be classified into two main categories: renewable and non- renewable. Fossil Fuels Fossil fuels are formed from ancient plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. They include coal, oil, and natural gas. When we burn these fuels, they release energy that we can use to power things like cars, factories, and homes. However, burning fossil fuels also releases pollution, so it's important to find cleaner energy sources too. Wind Energy The wind blows all around us, and we can use wind turbines to capture the wind's energy and convert it into electricity. It's like a big fan that creates electricity when it spins. Solar Energy The sun gives off light and heat energy, and we can use special panels called solar panels to capture the sun's energy and turn it into electricity. It's like using the sun's power! Hydropower Water can also create energy. We use dams to collect water in one place, and when the water flows through special machines called turbines, it turns into electricity. It's like using the power of flowing water! Geothermal Energy
Deep inside the Earth, there is heat that
comes from hot rocks. We can use that heat to make steam and turn it into electricity. It's like using Earth's own heat! Nuclear Energy Nuclear energy is created when tiny particles inside an atom are split apart in a process called nuclear fission. This releases a lot of energy that we can use to generate electricity. It's like using the power of atoms! Biomass Biomass is made from organic materials like wood, plants, or waste. We can burn these materials to release energy or turn them into a gas called biogas. It's like using the power of nature's leftovers! Remember! It's important to use energy wisely and think about the impact on the environment. That's why we're finding new ways to produce clean and renewable energy for a healthier planet.
