Question

match the energy resource listed below to the characteristic which describes it best.
nuclear energy
hydroelectric energy
natural gas
solar energy
created by using photovoltaic cells
created by fusion of atoms.
created by fission of atoms
can be mined from deep under ground or from a landfill
created by water pushing a turbine

Explanation:

• Nuclear Energy: Nuclear energy is produced by the fission (splitting) of atomic nuclei (usually uranium or plutonium). So it matches "Created by fission of atoms".
• Hydroelectric Energy: Hydroelectric power is generated when flowing water (from dams, rivers, etc.) pushes a turbine, which then generates electricity. So it matches "Created by water pushing a turbine".
• Natural Gas: Natural gas is a fossil fuel that can be mined from deep underground reservoirs or even from landfills (in the case of biogas, but natural gas extraction from underground is common). So it matches "Can be mined from deep under ground or from a landfill".
• Solar Energy: Solar energy is harnessed using photovoltaic cells (or solar thermal collectors) that convert sunlight into electricity. So it matches "Created by using photovoltaic cells".

(Note: The option "Created by fusion of atoms" is not matched here as current nuclear energy for power generation is fission - fusion is still in experimental stages for power production and not a common energy resource for matching here.)

Answer:

• Nuclear Energy: Created by fission of atoms
• Hydroelectric Energy: Created by water pushing a turbine
• Natural Gas: Can be mined from deep under ground or from a landfill
• Solar Energy: Created by using photovoltaic cells
