NEET Chemistry: Energy Resources questions with solutions

Q1. What is geothermal energy?

1. Ocean thermal energy
2. Interior heat of the earth.
3. Energy obtained from the heat of hot dry rocks
4. None of these

Answer: Interior heat of the earth.

Geothermal energy is energy derived from the Earth’s internal heat. That heat comes from the planet’s formation and radioactive decay, and it can be tapped for heating or electricity generation.

Q2. Solar energy stored in material such as wood, grain, sugar, and municipal waste is called:

1. fossil fuels
2. biomass
3. geothermal energy
4. natural gas

Answer: biomass

Biomass is energy stored in organic materials such as wood, crops, and waste. These materials come from living or recently living organisms, so they are not fossil fuels, geothermal energy, or natural gas.
