When supplies of a particular energy type are finite, it is known as a

• renewable resource.
• potentially renewable resource.
• nonrenewable resource.
• nondepletable resource.
• perpetual resource.

Which energy source is considered nonrenewable?<br />I. Solar energy<br />II. Nuclear energy<br />III. Fossil fuel

• I only
• II only
• I and II
• II and III
• I, II, and III

Which is NOT a fossil fuel energy resource?

• Coal
• Oil
• Natural Gas
• Uranium
• Petroleum

Which of the following is considered to be a subsistence energy source?<br />I. Coal<br />II. Charcoal<br />III. Wood<br />

• I only
• III only
• I and III
• II and III
• I, II, and III

Which represents the correct sequence of increasing energy resource use in the United States from the late 1800s to the 1950s?

• Wood, coal, oil, natural gas, hydroelectric
• Coal, hydroelectric, natural gas, oil, wood
• Wood, oil, natural gas, hydroelectric, coal
• Wood, coal, oil, natural gas, hydroelectric
• Coal, wood, hydroelectric, natural gas, oil

As countries become more developed, the demand for

• commercial energy sources increases.
• subsistence energy sources increases.
• nuclear energy sources decreases.
• commerical energy sources decreases.
• fossil fuel decreases.

Use Figure 12-1. The graph projects the smallest rise from 2008 to 2035 in the use of

• liquids.

• coal.

• natural gas.

• renewables.

• nuclear power.

Use Figure 12-1. According to the graph which statement is true?<br />

• Nuclear power will provide more energy than renewables by 2050.

• By 2050, fossil fuels will no longer provide the majority of the world’s energy.

• In 2000, natural gas provided about as much energy as coal.

• Renewables will be the greatest source of energy in the near future.

• The use of nuclear energy is decreasing over time.

Use Figure 12-1. The projected rise in the use of coal as an energy source is best explained by

• the use of coal in developing countries such as China and India.

• the use of coal in developed countries.

• the lack of technology advancing the use of renewables.

• better surface mining techniques worldwide.

• concern about depleting fossil fuels.

Use Figure 12-2. What was the predominant fuel source in the United States before 1875?

• Oil

• Natural gas

• Coal

• Wood

• Nuclear
