Detailed explanation-2: -Sustainable sources are biomass, nuclear power, geothermal, wind energy, solar power, tidal power, and wave power.

Detailed explanation-3: -Renewable resources include solar energy, wind, falling water, the heat of the earth (geothermal), plant materials (biomass), waves, ocean currents, temperature differences in the oceans and the energy of the tides.

Detailed explanation-4: -Wind turbines are used to convert wind energy into electrical energy. Solar panels are used to convert solar energy into electricity.

Detailed explanation-5: -Renewable energy sources, such as biomass, geothermal resources, sunlight, water, and wind, are natural resources that can be converted into these types of clean, usable energy: Bioenergy.
