Patterns of Energy Quiz

What are three examples of renewable energy sources?

• Tidal energy, wave energy, and fossil fuel energy

• Coal energy, nuclear energy, and natural gas energy

• Biomass energy, geothermal energy, and oil energy

• Solar energy, wind energy, and hydroelectric energy

How does solar energy contribute to renewable energy?

• Solar energy is derived from the sun, which is a continuously available resource.

• Solar energy comes from burning fossil fuels

• Solar energy is only available during the day

• Solar energy is not a renewable resource

What are the advantages of wind energy as a renewable energy source?

• Negative environmental impact, abundant resource, and affordable

• High environmental impact, scarce resource, and expensive

• Low environmental impact, abundant resource, and cost-effective

• Limited environmental impact, unreliable resource, and cost-effective

What are three examples of non-renewable energy sources?

• Coal, oil, natural gas

• Electricity, propane, ethanol

• Solar, wind, hydroelectric

• Biomass, geothermal, nuclear

Explain the process of extracting and using fossil fuels as non-renewable energy sources.

• Fossil fuels are grown in fields and then harvested for energy production.

• Fossil fuels are collected from outer space and transported to Earth for energy use.

• Fossil fuels are created in laboratories and then distributed for energy generation.

• Fossil fuels are extracted through drilling or mining, then refined into usable forms, and finally burned to produce energy.

What are the environmental impacts of using non-renewable energy sources?

• Environmental impacts include air and water pollution, habitat destruction, and climate change.

• Increased biodiversity

• Reduced greenhouse gas emissions

• Improved air quality

How can energy efficiency be improved in residential buildings?

• Using more energy-consuming appliances

• Implementing energy-efficient appliances and improving insulation

• Leaving lights and electronics on when not in use

• Ignoring insulation and sealing

What are the benefits of using energy-efficient appliances?

• Energy-efficient appliances can increase energy consumption and raise utility bills.

• Energy-efficient appliances have no impact on the environment.

• Energy-efficient appliances are more expensive to purchase.

• Energy-efficient appliances can help reduce energy consumption, lower utility bills, and minimize environmental impact.

What are the patterns of energy consumption in developed countries?

• Remain constant across all countries

• Varies depending on the country and its energy policies

• Depend solely on the population size

• Are not influenced by government policies

How does energy consumption in developing countries differ from that in developed countries?

• Lower per capita energy consumption

• Developing countries consume more energy

• No difference in energy consumption

• Higher per capita energy consumption
