Which of the following is an actual ADVANTAGE of using renewable resources?

They create very little waste or pollution.

They require very little money to setup the energy plant.

They produce more energy than nonrenewable resources.

A renewable energy plant can be built anywhere in the world.

Which of the following is an actual DISADVANTAGE of burning fossil fuels?

The pollution that results can increase global warming and lead to acid rain.

Fossil fuels can only be used in large cities.

Fossil fuels are cheap to transport.

Fossil fuels produce more energy than burning wood.

Which of the following is a DISADVANTAGE of using solar energy?

A backup energy source is needed at night or when it is cloudy.

Solar energy is a virtually unlimited source of energy.

The solar panels produce carbon dioxide which pollutes the air.

It must be collected from a huge area and destroys large areas of land.

What is one disadvantage of renewable energy?

Most sources are expensive to get started.

Electricity and power could become much cheaper.

Third world countries could have affordable energy.

Many people could become energy independent.

How is geothermal energy harvested?

We pump it from the earth and turn it into steam when it reaches the surface.

Solar panels collect the sunlight.

We pump it from the earth and refine it into gasoline.

We drill for it and burn it like coal or wood.

Because burning fossil fuels creates much pollution, alternatives are being investigated. What might limit the use of wind as a major energy source?

The strength of the wind varies.

Wind machines have huge blades to capture the wind.

Turbines and generators in the wind machines create electricity.

Wind power does not create pollution.

What energy transformation occurs in a power plant?

Mechanical energy from the turbine is converted to electrical energy by the generator

Nuclear energy of the steam is converted to thermal energy of the turbine in the generator.

Electric energy from the generator is converted to chemical energy in the power lines.

Chemical energy in the generator is converted to electrical energy in the power lines.

Assume the use of fossil fuels continues to increase over the next decade. What prediction are scientists MOST LIKELY to make for carbon dioxide (CO2) and temperature change?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) will increase, causing an increase in temperature.

Temperature will increase, causing a decrease in carbon dioxide (CO2).

Carbon dioxide (CO2) will increase, and the temperature will remain the same.

Temperature will increase, and carbon dioxide (CO2) will remain the same.

Why is electricity often considered to be the form of energy most important to people?

It can be turned into other forms of energy, including heat, light, sound, and motion.

Producing it never causes pollution.

It is easy to find in nature and is very inexpensive.

It can be turned into other forms of energy, including solar, wind, water, and geothermal.

Which of these does NOT explain why the energy use of a house is higher between the hours of 6:00 AM and 5:00 PM?

Solar energy is the energy source being used the most during those times.

More devices are in use during those hours.

The air conditioning would be running more during those hours.

The people are more active during those hours.

Which of the following is the most important reason for people to carefully manage natural resources?

The growing human population is putting increasing demands on natural resources.

Recycling facilities are being constructed around the world.

Underground reserves of oil have not yet been discovered.

Technology that uses natural resources more efficiently is being developed.
