Renewable & Nonrenewable MatchOnline version Match each source of energy with its definition. The first energy source has been completed for you. After you have matched your energy sources correctly develop a question about each sources of energy to determine how renewable and non-renewable energy resources are used in our everyday lives on the back of the paper. Be sure to answer the questions if you know it by Ashante DeBerry 1 Nonrenewable 2 Renewable Combustible black or brownish-black sedimentary rock composed mostly of carbon and hydrocarbons. Formed around 300 million years ago from the energy stored in dead plants and other living matter. Combustible black liquid formed millions of years ago from dead organic matter on the ocean floor, rivers and swamps. Combustible vapour formed millions of years ago from dead organic matter on the ocean floor, rivers and swamps. It is composed mainly of methane (a compound of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms). Used in creating nuclear energy. The atom is split in a process called fission. When an atom is split it causes a chain reaction which releases neutrons that split more atoms. This reaction produces a lot of heat energy. Energy harnessed from the back and forth movement of the water of the seas and oceans mainly caused by wind blowing over the surface. Renewable organic plant or animal matter such as wood or animal waste including sewage. This can be burned in boilers to produce steam that can then be used to create electricity. Technology which obtains usable energy from the light and heat of a star. Energy obtained by turbine engines powered by the movement of air. Kinetic energy that comes from flowing water that can spin a turbine to create electricity.
