1. Nonrenewable energy resources include: Coal, oil, natural gas biomass, geothermal, hydroelectric natural gas, wind, oil solar, nuclear, oil 2. Renewable energy resources include: Nuclear, biomass, natural gas coal, oil, natural gas wind, nuclear, natural gas biomass, hydroelectric, solar 3. Nonrenewable resources are formed from: coal, and oil from under ground rusting metal burning plants and animal waste the remains of dead plants and animals 4. Renewable resources such as biomass function by: burning up all the fossil fuels solar energy operating generators they all require power plants boiling water to create steam which turns a turbine connected to a generator which produces electricity. 5. Nuclear energy is: splitting atoms to create heat uses Earth's heat to boil water to make steam burned to heat & boil water to make steam Atoms combining to make compounds 6. Biomass as a renewable resource has been used by people for thousands of years. True False 7. Geothermal energy uses Earth's sun to heat water, to make steam, to turn turbines that make electricity. True False 8. Which energy resource uses very little fuel to produce great amounts of electricity, but also creates radioactive waste?
solar nuclear biomass natural gas Adding a nuclear power plant in the janitors closet. Building a hydroelectric dam at lake Lavon. Installing a diesel powered generator on the roof. Adding solar panels to the roof. 9. Mr. Boring wanted to find a better way to getelectricity into the school. Which of the following is the most practical way to do this? 10. Which type of energy resource can help reduce our use of fossil fuels? Natural Gas Oil Wind Coal 11.A by-product (something left over after making electricity) of nuclear power plants is: radioactive waste Carbon Dioxide Nitroglycerin Dihydrogen Monoxide Energy resources that are most affected by weather: 12.
