All of the following are non renewable energy sources EXCEPT
uranium
coal
natural gas
biomass
Renewable energy sources can best be defined as
resources that will regenerate in a million or more years
resources that will regenerate in a generation or less
resources that will regenerate in 10-20 million years
resources that do not have the ability to regenerate
In many parts of the developing world, this is the main source of energy for cooking and heating homes.
coal
natural gas
biomass
solar
In a thermal power plant, coal, oil, natural gas or uranium are used to heat what?
water
oil
air
the turbine
Energy production in thermal power plants as well as with hydroelectric, wind and wave or tidal power all produce electricity by
turning a turbine that runs the generator to make electricity that is taken to homes and businesses through transmission lines
the energy source directly runs the generator that then turns a turbine which produces the electricity that is taken to homes and businesses through transmission lines
the energy source is converted by a heater then the electricity is sent out to the homes and businesses through transmission lines
the energy source is used to power batteries that store energy, when you flip on a light or run electricity at your home, the battery sends the energy through transmission lines.
The main reason(s) fossil fuels are the primary source of energy in the developed world is
infrastructure is in place that already uses this and it would be costly to change
fossil fuels produce high energy quickly
fossil fuels are readily available
all of these are reasons

geothermal energy
biomass energy
coal
wind

As developing countries become more developed, their reliance on fossil fuels for energy increases.
Government regulations do not influence which energy sources people use and how they use them.
As the world becomes more industrialized, the demand for energy increases.
Of the fossil fuels, which is considered the cleanest?
oil
natural gas
coal
uranium
Using the diagram, which of the forms of coal would be the hardest?
