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 biomass, hydroelectric, solar wind, nuclear, natural gas 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 boiling water to create steam which turns a turbine connected to a generator which produces electricity. they all require power plants 5. In addition to creating electricity, oil is also used to: power trains create household chemicals produce helium for balloons power solar panels 6. Biomass as a renewable resource has an advantage in that it is available almost everywhere. True False 7. Geothermal energy is low in environmental pollution, accessible all around the world, and geothermal vents are always easy to access near the earths surface. True False 8. Which energy resource uses very little fuel to produce great amounts of electricity, but also creates radioactive waste?
solar biomass nuclear natural gas Building a hydroelectric dam in the creek. Adding solar panels to the roof. Adding a nuclear power plant in the janitors closet. Installing a diesel powered generator on the roof. 9. Mr. Evans wanted to find a better way to get electricity into the school. Which of the following is the most practical way to do this? natural gas power plant coal fired power plant solar panels wind turbines 10. Which type of energy resources hurts the environment the least? how they are both affected by changes in weather. how in they can be used virtually anywhere. how they are cheap to build. how they produce great amounts of electricity. 11. Wind and solar energy have a major disadvantage in: 12. A by-product (something left over after making electricity) of nuclear power plants is: radioactive waste Carbon Dioxide Nitroglycerin Dihydrogen Monoxide An energy resource that is very abundant and has the potential to flood land people live in is: 13. Wind Energy Natural Gas Solar Energy Hydroelectricity 14. Turning the heat down in the winter and air up in the summer helps to: save energy reduce spending reduce stress both A and B |
