What does "incineration of solid waste" mean?

• burning trash

• burying trash

• recycling trash

• reusing trash

Which of the following would NOT be considered an advantage of solar power?

• clean

• renewable

• limited availability

• quiet

Which of the following is a renewable resource?

• Coal

• Oil

• Solar energy

• Natural gas

Fossil fuels are non-renewable because:

• They are made from ancient organic matter that takes millions of years to form.

• They can be easily replenished within a short period.

• They are produced by modern industrial processes.

• They are abundant and will never run out.

Explain how nuclear energy works.

• Nuclear energy is produced through nuclear fusion, where atoms are combined to release energy.
• Nuclear energy is generated by burning fossil fuels.
• Nuclear energy is a completely safe and risk-free source of power.
• Nuclear energy is produced through nuclear fission, where atoms are split to release energy. This energy is used to heat water, creating steam that drives turbines to generate electricity.
