  1. Which type of energy conversion takes place when wave energy is used to produce energy?

    • The correct answer is mechanical to electrical. Wave energy is harnessed through mechanical movements (the motion of waves), which are then converted into electrical energy.

  2. Which of the following describes geothermal power?

    • The correct option is: it is limited to areas where magma is close to the surface. Geothermal power is indeed primarily harnessed in regions where geothermal resources, such as hot rocks or magma, are accessible near the Earth's surface. The other statements are not accurate descriptions of geothermal power.

  3. Which of the following energy conversions take place when biomass is used as an energy source?

    • The correct answer is chemical potential to thermal. Biomass consists of organic materials that store energy chemically, and when burned, that chemical potential energy is converted into thermal energy (heat).
