28. Questions & Answers: 1.What do you mean by fossil fuels? 2. Why are the fossil fuels thought to be big problems? 3. What do you mean by renewable energy? Ans: Petroleum, coal and natural gas are called fossil fuels because they have been produced from plants and trees for millions of years. Ans: Fossil fuels are thought to be big problems mainly for three reasons. First, fossil fuels are limited and will run out. Secondly, they are expensive and damaging for the environment. Thirdly, they directly cause global warming. Ans: Some energy sources are constantly and naturally replenished. As a result they will never run out. These are called renewable energy.

29. Questions & Answers 4. “Bio-energy” & “Geothermal energy”– do these two terms seem new to you? If yes, what have you learnt about them? Ans: Yes, they are new to me. I have learnt that plants and trees produce waste or wood which can be turned into fuel. They are called biomass. The interior of the earth contains lava with extreme heat. This heat produces steam and hot water which is called geothermal energy. 5. What are the major differences of non-renewable and renewable energy sources? Ans: Non-renewable energy sources are expensive, damaging and will run out eventually. On the other hand, renewable energy sources are eco-friendly and will never run out.
