The document provides definitions for common energy-related terms and asks the reader to complete an online energy quiz for points. It includes 8 multiple choice questions worth 1.25 points each from an energy IQ quiz. It also defines "green energy," "non-renewable energy," "renewable energy," and other energy sources like coal, natural gas, petroleum, biomass, ethanol, geothermal, hydroelectric, hydrogen, solar, and wind. The reader is directed to determine whether each energy source is non-renewable or renewable.

2. Respond to these questions.
1. Question: What are non-renewable energy sources?
Answer: Energy sources that cannot Be Replenished 2. Question: What are renewable energy sources? Answer: Energy sources that can be replenished
3. Write the definition of The Great Energy Hunt Technical Terms
Green Energy - Is a term describing what is thought to be
environmentally friendly sources of power and energy. Typically, this refers to renewable and non-polluting energy sources.
Non-Renewable Energy that cannot be replaced once it is
Energy - used or energy that is not being replaced as fast as it is being used.
Renewable Energy - Is energy which comes from natural
resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, and geothermal heat, which are renewable (naturally replenished).
Coal - combustible black or brownish-black
rock with a composition, Natural Gas - a gaseous mixture of hydrocarbon compounds
Petroleum Energy - gasoline, diesel fuel, and propane.
Petroleum - is hydrocarbon mixtures. Propane (C3H8) - A normally gaseous straight-chain hydrocarbon.
Biomass is plant matter and animal waste that
can be harvested
Ethanol (CH3-CH2OH) a clear, colorless, flammable
- oxygenated hydrocarbon.
Ethanol is typically produced
chemically from ethylene
Geothermal Energy a form of renewable
energy derived from heat deep in the earths crust.
Hydroelectric Power a renewable energy
source. It produces the most electricity in the United States.
Hydrogen the lightest of all gases, occurring
chiefly in combination with oxygen in water.
Solar Energy the radiant energy of the sun.
Wind Energy - kinetic energy present in wind motion that can be converted to mechanical energy
