energy from plant and animal waste

What is a disadvantage to Hydroelectricity?

Increases potential for flooding

One benefit of geothermal energy is that ________________________________.

it can provide power 24 hours a day

it doesn't cost a lot of money to build

it harms ecosystems where it's built

Which of the following options are dangerous potential impacts of using nuclear resources?

difficulties storing highly radioactive waste

A renewable energy source created from either a plant product or animal dung

A non-renewable energy source created from either a plant product or animal dung

How do solar panels transform energy from the sun?

Energy transferred by the light heats water increasing its store of thermal energy

Energy transferred by the light is absorbed by photovoltaic cells to generate electricity

Light passes right through the solar panel and into wires as electricity

Energy transferred by the light heats water, to turn a turbine, which generates electricity

Select two correct statements about tidal power:

Tidal power stations can be very expensive to set up

The tide is used to rotate turbines to generate electricity

Tidal power is not used in the UK

How do wind turbines generate electricity?

The blades of the wind turbine are moved by the wind, which turns a generator inside it and generates electricity

The blades spin to heat water, create steam, which turns a turbine, and produces electricity

The National Grid spins the turbines to transfer electricity to homes

Wind turbines do not generate electricity, they heat water

What is the greenhouse effect?

Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane in the earth's atmosphere absorb infra red radiation increasing the average temperature of the earth

As we burn more fossil fuels, we build more greenhouses

Emissions from the burning of fossil fuels cause the sun to be hotter over time, adding to climate change

Greenhouse gases such as oxygen and nitrogen in the earth's atmosphere absorb infra red radiation increasing the average temperature of the earth

What is carbon capture ?

The capture of harmful carbon dioxide emissions for safe storage deep underground

Trapping fossil fuels to stop them being burned and polluting the atmosphere

A computer system to work out how much carbon dioxide is produced by coal fuelled power stations

Which of the following is a reason why hybrid electric vehicles use less fossil fuel per mile traveled than a typical internal combustion engine vehicle uses?

When the brakes are applied in hybrid electric vehicles, kinetic energy is converted into electric energy to charge the batteries that assist the electric motor

Hybrid electric vehicles don’t burn fossil fuels; they run on electric energy

Hybrid vehicles are powered by the Sun using rooftop photovoltaic panels

Batteries in hybrid electric vehicles can be charged in the driveway overnight, when rates for electricity usage are typically low

The engines in hybrid electric vehicles are powered by biofuels made from genetically modified corn

A major limitation of using photovoltaic cells to generate electricity is that they:

Do not produce as much electricity on cloudy days

Do not produce as much CO 2 as other energy sources do

Present a danger to birds and bats

Cannot be connected to the electric grid

How do solar cells transform energy from the sun?

Energy transferred by the light is absorbed by photovoltaic cells to generate electricity

Energy transferred by the light heats water increasing its store of thermal energy

Light passes right through the solar panel and into wires as electricity

Energy transferred by the light heats water, to turn a turbine, which generates electricity
