geothermal energy
c)
biomass
d)
solar energy
21.
All of the following are fossil fuels except...
a)
natural gas
b)
oil
c)
coal
d)
uranium
22.
Which one of the following examples is a renewable source of energy?
a)
uranium
b)
fossil fuels
c)
solar energy
d)
nuclear energy
23.
One major advantage with the use of renewable energy is that it is sustainable and so will never run out.
True? or False?
True? or False?
a)
true
b)
false
24.
One advantage of renewable energy is that it produces little or no waste products such as carbon dioxide or other chemical pollutants, so it has minimal impact on the environment.
True? or False?
True? or False?
a)
true
b)
false
25.
One disadvantage of renewable energy sources is the reliability of supply. Renewable energy often relies on the weather for its source of power. When these resources are unavailable so is the capacity to make energy from them. This can be unpredictable and inconsistent.
True? or False?
True? or False?
a)
true
b)
false
26.
One advantage to nonrenewable energy is that it keeps the air clean and free from pollution.
a)
true
b)
false
27.

a)
true
b)
false
28.
