CHAPTER 10 (3)!!!!

one advantage of wind power is that it

• is limited to land areas

• is not noisy

• does not interfere with wildlife or habitats

• produces little to no direct carbon dioxide

• does not require a lot of space

wind power is expected to grow

• offshore because of stronger and stedier wind speeds

• on land because of stronger and stedier wind speeds

• in the united states due to increasing wind speeds from climate change

• offshore because coastal residents enjoy the appearance of them

• on land because there is low noise

which of the following is an example of biomass

• solar energy

• synfuels

• petroluem

• agricultural waste

where in the world is biomass used as primary energy source ?

• China

• more-developed countries

• Africa

• The United States

• The poorest countries

wood is renewable fuel

• when it is harvested no faster than its replinshed

• because of the low price of processing

• because of its high net energy yield

• if it is taken from slow -growing trees that are large and burn easily

• when it is harvested exclusively from forests

what country is the largest producer of liquid biofuels

• Brazil

• Mexico

• China

• uruguay

• costa rica

converting plant sugars into simple sugars creates biofuels ?

• ethanol

• methane

• propane

• ethane

• butane

Ethanol production has resulted in

• decreased water usage

• increased transportation emissions

• decreased the number of malnourished people.

• decreased prices for corn-based foods

• increased prices for corn-based foods

what kind of heat pump uses the constant temperature for earth as a source of heat in winter and as a store for the heat in the summer ?

• geothermal

• solar

• wind

• hydropower

• biofuel

Geothermal energy can be used for which of the following ?

• heating space , production electricity , and cooling space

• production electricity ,transportation fuel, and heating space

• transportation fuel, producing-high temperature heat for industry , and heating space

• producing-high temperature heat for industry , cooling space , and transportation fuel,

• heating space , transportation fuel,, and cooling space
