Which is NOT an advantage of renewable energy?

The burning of bio energy (biofuels) releases pollution into the atmosphere.

Solar & geothermal energy are or are potentially an infinite source of energy.

Wind & solar energy does not pollute water or air.

Factories for bio energy and wind farms for wind energy are relatively inexpensive to construct.

Which is NOT true about coal?

Coal is the most plentiful energy source.

Coal causes pollution and releases the most greenhouse gases.

Coal mines are dangerous, and breathing in the dust causes harm to miners.

Which is NOT true about nuclear power?

Nuclear power emits CO 2 pollutants.

Nuclear power is expensive to start and maintain.

Waste from processing nuclear power mains toxic for many years.

Nuclear power continuously generates electricity.

Which is NOT true about petroleum?

Petroleum is expensive to product and transport.

Petroleum has high carbon dioxide emissions.

Petroleum is non-renewable and the supplies we have may be used up soon.

Drilling for and transporting petroleum is hard on the environment.

Which is an advantage of fossil fuels?

Fossil fuels provide a large amount of thermal (heat) energy.

Fossil fuels are NOT renewable, so they could eventually run out.

The burning of fossil fuels produces smog and acid rain (harmful to the environment).

There's a risk of oil spills during transportation of petroleum.

Which is an advantage of wind power?

Wind turbines can be built off-shore and are cheaper than solar panels.

The strength of the wind is not constant.

Wind sites are often located in remote (far away) locations.

Which is NOT true about biomass?

Biomass uses things we would otherwise throw away.

Biomass can be used to hear homes.

Biomass causes some pollution from burning.

Which is NOT true about geothermal energy?

Geothermal energy requires high maintenance.

Geothermal energy is expensive to install.

Geothermal energy runs quietly.

Geothermal energy lasts longer than other heat pump systems.

Which is NOT true about natural gas?

Natural gas can NOT be used for cooking, heating homes, or running appliances.

Natural gas is cleaner than other fossil fuels, emitting less CO 2 .

Natural gas leaks can potentially cause fires or explosions.

Fossil fuels are the world's primary energy source and create the majority of

human-caused greenhouse emissions.

There's not much "easy" oil (a fossil fuel) left on the planet. Which of the following is NOT an extreme way oil companies are now farming for oil?

skimming the naturally occurring oil from the top of Earth's crust

pumping hot steam into the earth or using heaters to warm and thin the thicker oil to make it easier to extract

drilling far off-shore and very deep in the ocean

Which of the following is NOT a result of increasing greenhouse gases?

an increase in the world's oxygen from the oceans

rise in ocean acidity, putting calcifying species, such as oysters and coral, at risk

an increase in extreme weather events

rising of sea levels due to the melting of polar ice caps and glaciers

Acid rain forms when fossil fuels are burned, releasing sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide into the air. Which of the following is NOT a way acid rain harms the planet?

It leads to an increase in mold.

The acid wears away buildings and cars.

Fish can die from acidic rivers and lakes.

Soils that are too acidic make it hard for plants to grow in.

Wind energy begins with

the uneven heating of the earth which creates air movement

the movement of tides caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun

the heat from the mantle of the earth converted to steam

the burning of ancient remains of dead plants and animals to generate steam

Geothermal energy begins with

hot water from close to the mantle to generate steam

the uneven heating of the earth which creates movement of air

the movement of water due to earth's gravity

the burning of living matter to generate steam

Solar energy begins with

photon radiation from the sun collected by panels and transformed into currents

the movement of tides caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun

the uneven heating of the earth which creates air movement

the burning of living material to generate steam

Nuclear energy begins with

the splitting of uranium atoms to generate steam

the burning of ancient remains of dead plants and animals to generate steam

the burning of living matter to generate steam

hot water near the mantle to generate steam

Hydropower begins with

flowing water that moves turbines

the burning of living matter to generate steam

the splitting of uranium atoms to generate steam

the movement of air due to the uneven heating of the earth

Biomass/biofuel begins with

the burning of living matter to generate steam

the burning of ancient remains of plants and animals to generate steam

flowing water that moves turbines

Tidal energy begins with

the movement of tides caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun

the movement of air caused by the uneven heating of the earth

the splitting of uranium atoms to generate steam

the burning of living matter to generate steam
