It's an energy harnessed from the waves.

b)

It's an energy generated from the wind.

c)

It's an energy obtained from the sun.

d)

It's an energy obtained from the movement of the water,

7.

Which is the Spain autonomous community that produce the highest wind power energy?

a)

Galicia

b)

La Rioja

c)

Castilla y León

d)

Extremadura

8.

When was the first wind turbine build?

a)

In 1888

b)

In 1889

c)

In 1988

d)

In 1999

9.

Which one of these mechanisms can we find inside a wind turbine?

a)

Motor

b)

Disks brakes

c)

Pluviometer

d)

Wheels

10.

Which of these options is a wind power disadvantage?

a)

Ambiental pollution

b)

High Cost

c)

Noise pollution

d)

It doesn't have any disadvantage.

11.

Which energy is wave and tidal?

a)

Wind

b)

Sea water

c)

Sun

d)

Biomass

12.

Tell me one advantage of wave and tidal

a)

High energy density

b)

It have a large upfront cost

c)

Wave and tidal energy converters are located near the coastline.

d)

It only works at night.

13.

Tell me one Wave and Tidal energy curiosity

a)

Clouds reflect 25% of the solar radiation that reaches Earth.

b)

The United States has no tidal and wave power plants.

c)

Spain is the fifth country in the world with the most installed wave and tidal energy,

d)

It is the main source of energy in Iceland.

14.

Tell me one disadvantage of wind & tidal energy.

a)

It's a highly predictable energy source.

b)

Environment friendly

c)

They have low operational and maintenance cost.

d)

It have a large upfront cost

15.

How does wave energy works?

a)

It uses the energy of the tides to produce electricity. In a tidal power plant, a dike separates a bay or estuary from the open sea. When the tide rises, the floodgates open and water enters the dike. At low tide, the floodgates open again and the water returns to the open sea, running the turbines of the power plant's electric generators.

b)

The bubble is an energy converter that sinks a little more than a meter below the sea surface. Inside it has a piston that moves with the ripples of the waves and transmits the motion to an electric generator, producing the electricity that is sent to the sidewalk by means of an underwater cable.

c)

Collects energy from the sun with photovoltaic panels.

d)

it is generated by transforming the movement of air currents into electrical energy.

16.

What's biomass

a)

It's an energy obtained from the wind

b)

It is obtained from the sunlight

c)

It's obtained from burning plants or animal material

d)

It's obtained from the inside of the earth.

17.

How it's biomass energy obtained?

a)

With a solar panel

b)

It's obtained from wind mills.

c)

From the controlled bacterial decomposition of organic matter.

d)

Like orange juice.

18.

Advantage of biomass

a)

Reduce organic waste.

b)

It emit CO2 when it's burned

c)

It doesn't allow to reduce humans waste.

d)
