Renewable energy is the energy that comes from natural resources that are constantly replenished. It includes solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal energy. Here are some key points about renewable energy resources:
- Solar Energy: Solar energy is derived from the sun's radiation. It can be converted into electricity using photovoltaic cells or used for heating water and air.
- Wind Energy: Wind energy is generated by the movement of air. Wind turbines convert kinetic energy from the wind into electrical energy.
- Hydro Energy: Hydro energy is generated by the flow of water. Hydropower plants use turbines to convert the kinetic energy of flowing water into electrical energy.
- Geothermal Energy: Geothermal energy is derived from the heat stored in the Earth's interior. It can be used for heating and cooling buildings, as well as for generating electricity.
