100

Energy sources that can be used repeatedly 

renewable energy 

100

These panels are placed in high places to absorb sunlight

solar panels 

100

When we burn fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas, it releases this into the atmosphere.

greenhouse gas

100

A cause of respiratory diseases 

air pollution 

200

Energy sources that run out over time 

non-renewable energy sources 

200

you might see these large windmills in an open field 

Wind Turbines 

200

This is causing Earth's temperature to rise 

greenhouse gases trapped in the atmosphere 

200

Loss of this occurs when animals' homes are destroyed

habitats and biodiversity 

300

This energy source is often used to heat homes. It usually has no scent but a bad odour is added to it so it may be detected when dangerous leaks occur 

natural gas 

300
The main disadvantage of renewable energy sources 
They can be unreliable 
300

Rising temperatures often cause these catastrophic weather events around the world

Natural Disasters 

300

two examples of extreme weather events 

Hurricanes, droughts, tsunami, earthqakes 

400

The burning of dean trees and plants produces this type of energy

Biomas 

400

The main advantage of using renewable energy sources 

Good for the environment 

400

The practice of cutting down trees for timber, agriculture, and development. 

Deforestation 

400

These furry friends struggle to hunt in the Arctic due to melting sea ice

polar bears 

500

Flowing water sources produce this type of energy

Hydroelectricity 

500

The largest energy source in the world

The sun 

500

A heat-trapping gas, also known as a greenhouse gas, that comes from the extraction and burning of fossil fuels (such as coal, oil, and natural gas), from wildfires, and from natural processes like volcanic eruptions.

CO2 or Carbon Dioxide 

500
The melting/shrinking of this is causing sea levels to rise 

sea ice
