1. Identify the Energy Types and Sources

We have four energy types:

• Biomass
• Hydropower
• Geothermal
• Solar

We also have four sources:

• Nuclear reactions
• Moving water
• Sun's rays
• Plants

2. Match Each Energy Type to Its Source

1. Biomass → Plants: Biomass energy comes from organic materials, particularly plants and agricultural waste.
2. Hydropower → Moving water: Hydropower utilizes the energy generated from moving water, commonly through rivers and dam systems.
3. Geothermal → Nuclear reactions: Geothermal energy is not directly from nuclear reactions, but it's generated from the Earth's internal heat, primarily from radioactive decay (which is a type of nuclear reaction). This match is more about the underlying process.
4. Solar → Sun's rays: Solar energy originates from the radiation emitted by the sun, which can be harnessed using solar panels and other technologies.

3. Summary of Matches

• Biomass → Plants
• Hydropower → Moving water
• Geothermal → Nuclear reactions (considering the Earth's internal heat generation)
• Solar → Sun's rays

Final Answer

• Biomass: Plants
• Hydropower: Moving water
• Geothermal: Nuclear reactions
• Solar: Sun's rays
