Why are fossil fuels considered nonrenewable resources if they are still forming beneath the surface today?

We are depleting the fossil fuels much faster than they can form.

They are being formed as a type of methane which we cannot use.

They are being formed too far beneath the surface.

The fossil fuels are being broken down by a natural process.

Electric generators work by

converting mechanical energy into electrical energy

converting oil into electricity

rubbing copper against materials that do not conduct electricity

Oil and Natural gas result from

the decay of tiny marine organisms that accumulated on the ocean floor millions of years ago

the migration of complex carbohydrates to nonporous rock formations

the burning of high sulfur, low grade uranium

the decay of plants that lived in swamps hundreds of thousands of years ago

How is electricity generated in a coal powered plant?

heat from the burning coal boils water and produces steam which turns the turbines

heat from the burning coal heats the air which turns the turbines

the turbine breaks down the coal into liquid fuel that powers the generator

the coal is heated until it vaporizes and the vapor is the distilled in the combustion chamber which turns the turbine

swamplands are buried by sediment and they weight provides heat & pressure that converts plants to coal

sediments cover dead marine organisms

deposits of methane are subjected to high pressure

organic remains get trapped in nonporous rocks and merge into high energy molecules

Which of the following is an advantage of nuclear energy

It does not produce air pollution

It does not produce solid waste

One CON of hydroelectric energy is...

It cannot be utilized everywhere

It creates many harmful emissions

It does not produce very much energy

Dams are relatively cheap to build

One of the main disadvantages of nuclear power is that it

produces too little electricity.

Which one of these is a disadvantage to Biomass Energy?

air pollution results from burning some forms

potential impact on bird populations

negative impact on aquatic ecosystems
