They are abundant.
They are renewed within a person’s lifetime.
Answer to Column 2 $400
Choose one renewable resource and explain how it
is always available.
Example: Biomass = available as long as wastes are decomposing.
Column 2 Question $400

Answer to Column 3 $300
Explain how electricity is created using Solar
Power.
Column 3 Question $300
Sunlight strikes a solar cell, electrons move
around, this begins the electric current.
Answer to Column 3 $400
Explain how electricity is created using hydropower.
Column 3 Question $400
The sun causes the water cycle which replenishes the Earth’s water. The water flows (either
down stream or down from a water tower) it turns a wheel turbine which
spins an electric generator creating electricity that is sent
through power lines.
