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

Hydropower

produces no air pollution

can be built in any location

has no construction costs

uses a nonrenewable resource

Oil, Natural Gas, Nuclear, Coal - What do these items have in common?

They are examples of inexhaustible energy resources.

They are examples of renewable energy resources.

They are examples of energy resources that do not cause pollution.

They are examples of nonrenewable energy resources.

Why is the Sun considered the ultimate energy source?

The Sun is the center of our solar system.

The Sun provides energy for the water cycle and plants.

The Sun is limited in the amount of energy released daily.

The Sun rises and sets each day as seen from Earth.

10.

Which energy resource, once depleted, is essentially nonrenewable?

Coal

Solar

Biomass

Wind

11.

What are the 3 main fossil fuels?

Coal, Oil, and Gasoline

Coal, Oil, and Natural Gas

Electricity, Gasoline, Petroleum

Coal, Oil, Non-renewable Resources

12.

Fossil Fuels formed over long periods of time after particles in water settled to the sea floor and formed marine mud. What kinds of particles needed to be present in the marine mud in order for fossil fuels to form.

Mostly sand and a few small bits of wood

Mostly decaying organisms

Mostly lava and a few sedimentary rocks

Mostly metal minerals

13.

Geothermal energy is energy from

the sun

heat from deep in the earth

wind

inexhaustable

14.

Which renewable resource uses the natural resource in the picture below to produce energy?

wind

tidal

biomass

geothermal

15.

How are Sedimentary Rocks formed?

Cooling and Hardening

Heat and Pressure

Compacting and Cementing

Melting

16.

In what kind of rock can fossils be found?

Sedimentary Rocks

Igneous Rocks

Metamorphic Rocks

Granite

17.

This energy resource is only practical in regions that have hot springs and volcanoes.

Solar

Wind

Geothermal

Hydroelectric

18.

The development of a nuclear power plant at an ocean site is expected to produce an enormous amount of electric power for a large population. Ocean water will be used to cool the plant and then returned to the ocean. What unintended consequence should be analyzed before starting construction?

number of kilowatts produced per home

the effect of warmed water on aquatic life

the impact of other energyproducing resources

energy use per person

19.

Which is the most negative environmental consequence of building dams for hydroelectric power?

air pollution

chemical spills

water pollution

habitat destruction

20.

Which is an environmental consequence of using biomass

as a source of energy?

There are no environmental consequences for using biomass as a source of energy.

Biomass creates harmful emission of carbon and sulfur, and causes massive cutting of trees.

Biomass has a great impact on the temperature of fresh water and the amount of dissolved oxygen.
