- 6. This type of energy is produced by the internal heat of the earth.
- 7. This type of fuel which takes millions of years to develop is formed in the ground from the remains of dead plants and animals. Some examples of this fuel are coal, oil and natural gas.
- 8. Atmospheric gases such as water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide which contribute to the greenhouse effect by absorbing infrared radiation.
- 10. The extraction of valuable minerals or other geological materials from the earth.

- 5. The ability of something to be maintained. That is, meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability to meet future needs.
- 9. This type of energy is derived from resources that are regenerative or for all practical purposes cannot be depleted. The Government of Trinidad and Tobago has set a target that by 2021, at least 10% of its energy generated should be from these energy sources.
- 12. The term used to describe the change in the earth’s weather patterns. Some of the factors which contribute to this change include volcanic eruptions, fossil fuel combustion and vegetation clearing and burning.
- 16. Any organic matter which is available on a renewable basis, for example agricultural crops, wastes and residues, wood, animal wastes.
