Name 3 types of renewable sources of energy.

Solar Energy: The sun's rays can be captured and converted into electricity using solar panels and photovoltaic cells. 

Wind Energy: Wind turbines harness the power of the wind to generate electricity. 

Hydropower: Water flowing from dams or rivers can turn turbines to produce electricity. 

Biomass Energy: Plants gather energy from photosynthesis, which can be used to produce electricity or fuel. 

Geothermal Energy: Heat from the Earth's interior can be harnessed to provide energy for homes and buildings.

Name one type of nonrenewable source of energy.

Coal: A black sedimentary rock used for fuel and electricity generation. 

Petroleum: Found in crude oil, used for energy and fuel. 

Natural Gas: A fossil fuel used for heating and electricity generation. 

These nonrenewable sources of energy are finite and will eventually run out if not managed properly. It's important to learn about these resources and consider alternatives like renewable energy sources to protect the environment.
