Humans get energy from the following sources:
- Fossil fuels (wood, coal, oil, natural gas, biomass)
- Geothermal energy
- Nuclear fission
- Solar energy (solar thermal, photovoltaic and photoelectrochemical)
- Hydroelectric power (dams, tides, waves)
- Wind energy
The very large majority of the world's energy (~80%) comes from fossil fuels, about 10% is nuclear, ~6% is non-sustainable biomass, and the remainder a mixture of renewable sources (geothermal, wind, solar, etc). Another possible source of energy is nuclear fusion (which is the sun's source of energy and also what is used in a hydrogen bomb), but humans have not yet developed the technology to safely use nuclear fusion as a source of energy to use productively. We might see fusion as an energy source in the next 50 years or so, but not much sooner than that!
What else can I help you with?
What are the types of the conventional and non conventional sources of energy?
Conventional energy sources are coal, oil, natural gas, and hydraulic energy sources.Non conventional energy sources are nuclear, solar, wind, geothermal, wave, tide, and biomass energy sources.
What are 10 energy sources?
Some energy sources include solar, wind, hydroelectric, nuclear, biomass, geothermal, coal, natural gas, oil, and tidal energy.
What are the two sources energy can be divided into?
Energy can be divided into two main sources: renewable energy and non-renewable energy. Renewable energy comes from natural resources that can be replenished over time, such as solar, wind, and hydropower. Non-renewable energy, on the other hand, comes from sources that cannot be easily replenished, such as fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas.
What are two sources of thermal energy?
The two types of thermal energy sources are Geothermal and Thermal Energy
What percentage of our energy comes from nonrenewable energy sources?
Approximately 80% of our energy comes from nonrenewable sources such as fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas) and nuclear power. These sources are limited in quantity and can have negative environmental impacts.
Energy sources replaced through ongoing natural processes are called?
natural energy sources
What does oil and sunlight have in common?
they are both natural sources of energy
What are five sources that are used to produce electrical energy?
Five types of energy sources are:hydro electricthermalsolarwindnuclear energygeothermaltidal/wavechemical (batteries)
What is natural sources of energy?
one natural resource is the sun
Five different energy sources?

What are some natural sources?
Natural sources refer to resources that occur in nature and are not manufactured. Examples include sunlight for solar energy, wind for wind power, rivers for hydropower, and wood for biomass energy. Other natural sources include geothermal energy from the Earth's heat and tidal energy from the oceans.
What nonrenewable energy source?
nonrenewable energy sources are sources that are depleted sources as fossil fuels (wood, coal, natural gas, and oil)
Lighting and fire are examples of these?
Natural energy sources
Coaloil and natural gas are?
They are all energy sources.
Which of these energy sources is a fossil fuel?
natural gas
What energy sources are Coal Oil and natural gases examples of?
Natural resources
What are the types of the conventional and non conventional sources of energy?
Conventional energy sources are coal, oil, natural gas, and hydraulic energy sources.Non conventional energy sources are nuclear, solar, wind, geothermal, wave, tide, and biomass energy sources.
