The Greenhouse Effect happens when the HEAT cannot escape the Earth.
True
False
Why are too many greenhouse gases bad for the environment?
They cause trees to die.
They release heat and will be the cause of the next ice age.
They trap heat in our atmosphere causing the planet to warm up.
They are fossil fuels which pollute our environment.
One pro of fossil fuels is that right now, they are
expensive to transport
very cheap to mine
found in many places in large amounts
there is a lot of waste created by fuel
Hydroelectric power is electricity created by
water
the sun
burning coal
burning wood
One con of hydroelectric power is that dams can
create lakes
control irrigation
block routes for fish
keep soil rich
Which is a CON of solar energy?
energy can be saved in summer to use in winter
it can lower electric costs
there is a lot of sun in the desert
solar panels can be expensive
Nuclear energy involves
cutting down trees
building dams
breaking apart an atom
mining for coal
One positive of nuclear energy is:
it doesn't create air pollution
it creates nuclear waste
it increases global warming
One danger of nuclear power plants is that
atomic bombs are not dangerous
the waste material is radioactive
water creates pollution
atoms are difficult to find
Wind power involves structures with
long pipes that extend deep into mines
panels to absorb sunlight
turbines that spin with the air
dams to block water
Which of the following can be used to produce energy using biomass?
wind
Geothermal energy is:
heat that is naturally produced in the atmosphere using the greenhouse effect
heat that is naturally produced inside the Earth
energy produces by burning waste materials like trash, leftover crops, and animal waste
Which layer in the atmosphere protects us from harmful UV radiation?
Populations are normally more dense where there are more natural resources.
True
False
Where would solar panels be the most useful source of energy?
Rainforests with lots of trees
Desert area with sparse vegetation
In polar zones with indirect sunlight
Rivers where there are fast flowing waters
Where would windmills most likely be built for wind energy?
Rainforest with many trees and vegetation
Mountainous areas
Grasslands that are normally flat and open
In high population areas
Ocean acidification occurs when...
the ocean absorbs more CO2 from the atmosphere
The ocean turns to acid
the ocean is polluted
rivers dry up
What is created in order to avoid conflict or end a conflict between nations or groups of people?

Africa produces more oil than it consumes
Europe consumes much more oil than it produces compared to other regions
