What are natural resources.
Energy of motion.
What is kinetic energy.
Windmills convert this type of energy into electricity.
What is wind/aeolic energy.
A naturally occurring, yellowish-black liquid found in geological formations beneath the Earth's surface. It is also known as black gold, crude oil, or simply crude.
What is petroleum.
Prevention of wasteful use of a natural resource.
What is conservation.

What is oil.
Form of energy that is reflected or emitted from objects in the form of electrical and magnetic waves that can travel through space.
What is electromagnetic energy.
Sun’s radiant energy that can be absorbed, stored, and released by substances or converted directly into electricity.
What is solar energy.
A black organogenic sedimentary rock, very rich in carbon and with variable amounts of other elements, mainly hydrogen, sulfur, oxygen and nitrogen. It is mainly used as a fossil fuel.
What is coal.

What are the 5Rs.
Natural resource that can be restored by natural processes.
What is renewable energy.
The potential energy a physical object with mass has in relation to another massive object due to gravity.
What is gravitational energy.
Can be used to heat and cool building interior spaces and is produced by
Earth´s core.
What is geothermal energy.
Oil used for fuel, one used as a substitute for coal.
What is fuel oil.

What is the Leonardo DiCaprio Fundation.
Resources that when are used up, cannot be replaced, which is a major problem for humanity as we are currently dependent on them to supply most of our energy needs.
What are non-renewable resources.
Form of energy resulting from the flow of electric charge.
What is electrical energy.
Flowing water, directed through a dam or other structure, that is used to spin a wheel or turbine to produce electricity or for mechanical tasks.
What is hydropower.
Energy released during nuclear fission or fusion, especially when used to generate electricity.
What is nuclear energy.
Leading global environmental authority that sets the global environmental agenda, promotes the coherent implementation of the environmental dimension of sustainable development within the United Nations system, and serves as an authoritative advocate for the global environment.
