(S9ES –IIIc-d-29) ANALYZING LEVEL
Geothermal Power Plants Based on the picture below.
Geothermal energy is a type of renewable

energy taken from the Earth’s core. It
comes from heat generated during the
original formation of the planet and the
radioactive decay of materials. This
thermal energy is stored in rocks and
fluids in the centre of the earth.
How can geothermal energy can be a source
of electricity?
Answer:
Geothermal power plants use steam to

produce electricity. The steam comes
from reservoirs of hot water found a few
miles or more below the earth's surface.

The climate of a place will be different when Based on the picture below.
compared to another. The reasons for these
differences can be quite complex but there are
some general factors that can be identified as
affecting climate. The most important factors
are latitude, altitude, topography and presence
of body of water.
Why does the amount of heat received by
places far from the equator become less?
Answer:
It is due to the tilting of the Earth’s axis and

shape of the Earth.

(S9ES-IIIj-35)
Star colour ranges from red to blue. The Based on the picture below,
colors of the stars indicate their surface
temperatures. There are five star colors: blue,
white, yellow, orange, and red. The hottest
stars are blue, with temperatures around
25,000 K. Red is the color of the coldest stars,
which have surface temperatures of
approximately 3,000 K.
Why do star differ in brightness?
Answer:
A star's brightness also depends on its

proximity to us. The more distant an
object is, the dimmer it appears.

Infer that waves carry energy

(S7LT-IIIc-4)
ANALYZING LEVEL
Wavelength and frequency are related to light, Analyze the picture below,
they are also related to energy. The shorter
the wavelengths and higher the frequency
corresponds with greater energy. So the
longer the wavelengths and lower the
frequency results in lower energy. Below is the
illustration of relationship of frequency and
wavelength.
Why do shorter wavelengths have more

energy?
Answer:
This is because they have a higher

frequency, that’s why gamma rays
receive most energy in EM spectrum.
