Land is considered an important resource because it can be used for various purposes like agriculture, forestry, mining, building houses, roads and setting up of industries. It also serves as a habitat for a variety of flora and fauna.
Data for 2013 shows that renewable electricity generation overtook natural gas to become the second largest source of electricity worldwide producing 22% of total electricity or 5,130 TWh. Some of the sources of renewable energy are: solar power, wind power, wave and tidal power, geothermal power, biomass and hydro power. Fossil fuels remained the bedrock of global electricity production with more than two-thirds (about 67%) of the total.
Solar energy is any type of energy generated by the sun. Solar energy is created by nuclear fusion that takes place in the sun. Fusion occurs when protons of hydrogen atoms violently collide in the sun's core and fuse to create a helium atom.
