Why are coal, oil, and natural gas classified as nonrenewable resources?
They are limitless
They exist in many places on Earth.
They are originally from once-living things.
They take millions of years to form.
Which statement is true about coal and natural gas?
Both are renewable resources
Both require wind in order to work
Both lead to greenhouse gases and climate change
Neither one causes global warming
What are two advantages of geothermal energy?
cheap and a lot pollution
expensive and a lot of pollution
cheap and little pollution
expensive and little pollution
What is a disadvantage to Hydroelectricity?
lots and lots of pollution
Kills wild bird population
Radioactive waste
Increases potential for flooding
What is a negative impact of most renewable energy resources?
expensive start up costs
produce CO2 gas
damage the environment
produce poisonous waste
What is a negative impact of wind turbines?
unreliable
noisy
visual pollution
produce carbon dioxide gas
Which of these are non renewable energy resources?
coal, oil, gas, wind
coal, oil, gas, tidal
coal, oil, gas, nuclear
coal, oil, gas, solar
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.
Why is solar energy seldom used as an environmentally safe energy source in households to provide electricity?
Solar energy can only be used with gasoline.
Solar energy is difficult to capture and store for later use.
Solar power facilities destroy animal habitats.
Solar power creates radioactive waste.
Which is most likely the greatest impact on the environment when a dam is built for hydroelectric power production?
Animal populations increase rapidly in ecosystems upstream of the dam because of more available water.
Plant populations suffer from increased competition beyond the dam because more land is available for cultivation.
The water cycle is disturbed by the building of a dam because water is concentrated in new areas.
The dam destroys habitats by creating reservoirs of water that flood lands upstream of the dam.
Energy resources are mainly used to generate electricity, what are the two other major uses?
Food
Transport
Weapons
Heating
Which energy resource is the most widely used for heating homes in the UK?
Geothermal
Wind
Natural Gas
Coal
