Why is it important to limit the use of fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas?

Fossil fuels can be replenished only after thousands of years.

Fossil fuels are an unlimited resource on the Earth.

Fossil fuels can be renewed in a matter of a few years.

Why is solar energy seldom used as an environmentally safe energy source in households to provide electricity?

Solar energy is difficult to capture and store for later use.

Solar energy can only be used with gasoline.

Solar power facilities destroy animal habitats.

Which is most accurate in regards to energy resources ?

Fossil fuels are limited, therefore it is important to conserve energy.

Wind, water, and solar power generate pollution, therefore it is important to conserve energy.

Solar radiation is limited, therefore it is important to conserve energy.

How does coal compare to natural gas?

coal is renewable, while natural gas is nonrenewable

Which will most likely occur if fossil fuels continue to be used globally as the primary energy resource?

The amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere will increase.

The amount of available food will increase.

The amount of pollution in the oceans will decrease.

The amount of health concerns affecting the human population will decrease.

Why is renewable energy a better alternative to nonrenewable energy?

Renewable energy is readily available, while nonrenewable energy supplies are limited.

Renewable energy is less expensive than nonrenewable energy.

Renewable energy requires much less equipment maintenance than nonrenewable energy.

Renewable energy harms the environment, while nonrenewable energy is environmentally friendly.

Which is the most likely reason wind energy is not widely used as a replacement for fossil fuels?

Few places are windy enough to produce sufficient energy.

Energy from wind is too expensive to produce.

Producing energy from wind causes too much pollution.

Wind energy is an indirect form of solar energy.

Which is most likely the greatest impact on the environment when a dam is built for hydroelectric power production?

The dam destroys habitats by creating reservoirs of water that flood lands upstream of the dam.

The water cycle is disturbed by the building of a dam because water is

Plant populations suffer from increased competition beyond the dam because more land is available for cultivation.

Animal populations increase rapidly in ecosystems upstream of the dam because of more available water.

Which best describes a nonrenewable resource?

one that is in unlimited supply

Their ability to produce energy is inconsistent and variable.

Which is a disadvantage of using solar or wind energy to produce electricity?

Their ability to produce energy is inconsistent and variable.

They are controlled energy resources.

These energy sources are nonrenewable.

They are an expensive way to produce energy.

Which best explains why fossil fuels should be conserved?

They do not cause pollution when used.

Students were investigating the advantages and disadvantages of solar power. According to the information in the chart, which statement describes an advantage of using fossil fuels over solar power?

Fossil fuels are available regardless of the weather.

Fossil fuel stations require less maintenance than solar panels.

Fossil fuels are less costly to obtain.

Fossil fuels are an abundant renewable resource.
