All of the following are nonrenewable resources except:

• coal

• natural gas

• wind

• nuclear

All of the following are considered fossil fuels except:

• oil

• natural gas

• coal

• nuclear

When ferns, plants and trees hardened under tremendous amounts of heat and pressure over a long period of time, it forms which of the following resources?

• oil

• coal

• natural gas

• nuclear power

When small organisms like zooplankton and white algae hardened under tremendous amounts of heat and pressure over a long period of time, it forms which of the following resources?

• oil

• coal

• natural gas

• nuclear power

When small organisms like zooplankton and white algae hardened under tremendous amounts of heat and pressure over such a long period of time that it turns into a gas, it forms which of the following resources?

• oil

• coal

• natural gas

• nuclear power

All renewable resources do not need to be used sustainably, because they will never run out.

• True

• False

One advantage of using Natural Gas as an energy source is that:

• It can be used for many things (very versatile)

• It has a low energy output

• Fracking can pollute the water

• It has low land disturbance

Two disadvantages of using Natural Gas as an energy source are:

• It can be used for many things (very versatile)

• It has a low energy output

• Fracking can pollute the water

• It has low land disturbance

One advantage of using Oil/Petroleum as an energy source is that:

• Relatively high supply

• It has a low energy output

• Releases CO2 when used

• It can be easily transported

Two disadvantages of using Oil/Petroleum as an energy source are:

• Oil spills could pollute the water and harm wildlife

• It has a low energy output

• Environmental costs are not included at the pump

• It can be easily transported
