AQA GCSE · Question 05.2 · Energy
Give two renewable energy resources that could make up the ‘Other’ energy resources in Figure 6.
Give two renewable energy resources that could make up the ‘Other’ energy resources in Figure 6.
How to approach this question
1. Recall different types of renewable energy resources. A renewable resource is one that will not run out.
2. Look at the key in the pie chart to see which resources are already listed (Solar, Coal, Nuclear, Gas).
3. List two renewable resources that are not already named in the main categories.
Full Answer
Any two from:
1. Wind
2. Hydroelectric
3. Biomass
4. Geothermal
5. Tidal / Waves
Renewable energy resources are those that are naturally replenished on a human timescale. The main types are:
- **Solar:** Already listed.
- **Wind:** Using turbines to convert kinetic energy of wind into electricity.
- **Hydroelectric:** Using the gravitational potential energy of water stored in dams.
- **Biomass:** Burning organic matter (like wood pellets or waste) to produce heat, which generates electricity.
- **Geothermal:** Using heat from the Earth's core.
- **Tidal and Wave:** Using the movement of tides or sea waves to generate electricity.
Any two of these (apart from solar) would be correct answers.
Common mistakes
✗ Naming a non-renewable resource (e.g., oil).
✗ Naming a resource already listed in the main categories (e.g., Solar, Gas, Coal, Nuclear).
✗ Naming things that are not energy resources (e.g., "recycling").
