Jaden listed the similarities of using coal, natural gas, and petroleum to generate electricity.

Coal, natural gas, and petroleum:

– use turbines

– require heat

– convert electrical energy to kinetic energy

– produce pollution in the form of smoke

Which best describes Jaden’s mistake?

Only coal-fired power plants use turbines.

Power plants do not require heat.

Kinetic energy is converted to electrical energy.

Coal does not produce pollution.

Which human activity would preserve nonrenewable resources?

deforestation

removing carnivores from a forest

recycling

heating homes with fossil fuels

Approximately 75 percent of the Earth's surface is covered in water. So why is water considered such a precious resource?

Only a small fraction of the Earth's water is freshwater available for drinking and irrigation

Each year, more freshwater is being trapped in icecaps located at the North and South Poles

Global warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions will likely cause Earth's oceans to evaporate
