Resources Are An Energy Source That Cannot Be Depleted And Are Able To Supply A Continuous Source Of Clean Energy

Geothermal Energy is 

• Renewable
• Easily depleted
• Nonrenewable
• Difficult to locate

Wind energy 

• is less expensive than fossil fuels
• is difficult to utilize in areas with low wind availability
• is a renewable source of energy
• utilizes small or large areas of land not previously used

What percentage of energy consumption comes from nonrenewable resources?

• 7%
• 93%
• 23%
• 27%

Stored energy in water behind a dam falls and changes into mechanical energy that turns a turbine that turns coils in a generator that produces electrical energy.  What is this?

• Fossil Fuel Power Plant
• Nonrenewable Power Plant
• Nuclear Power Plant 
• Hydroelectric Power Plant

Hydropower 

• produces no air pollution
• can be built in any location
• has no construction costs
• uses a nonrenewable resource

Energy Source A
- Stored energy in particles of uranium
- Energy released when particles are split or combined
Energy Source B
-Stored energy from buried plants and animals millions of years old
- Includes coal, oil, and natural gas
