Question

which renewable resource, despite being made from organic matter, still produces greenhouse gases when burned? solar power geothermal power tidal power biomass

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Solar Power: Uses sunlight, no burning of organic matter, so no greenhouse gases from burning.
• Geothermal Power: Uses heat from Earth's interior, no burning of organic matter.
• Tidal Power: Uses ocean tides, no burning of organic matter.
• Biomass: Made from organic matter (plants, animal waste, etc.). When burned, it releases carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas), even though it's renewable.

Answer:

D. Biomass
