Germany
Japan
United States
Which of the following would most likely be a result of switching from geothermal energy to biomass energy as the primary energy source for a home?
Amount of trash would increase in landfills
Combustion increases greenhouse gases
Deforestation would give way to land for crops
Fossil Fuel consumption would be eliminated
Passive solar energy systems...
absorb heat through the floors to heat the home
transport tubes of water to transfer heat
have rooftop panels that store and collect energy
use concentrting collectors to absorb radiation
Which of the following would be the most likely occurence of switching from biomass enery to geothermal energy as the primary energy source for a home?
Energy costs would increase over time
power generation would be more reliable
Less new infrastructure would need to be built
Emmission of greenhouse gases would be eliminated
Technology is expensive tocreae hydrogen gas for a fuel cell; however, the impact on the environment offsets the expense because
direct heat fromt eh sun can be stored for years
greenhouse gases are not emitted
hydrogen sulfide is released during the process
it can be used as a substitute for geothermal energy
Which of the following describes a benefit of hydroelectricity?
A hydroelectric dam does not produce carbon-based pollution
A hydroelectric dam increases migration of fish
A hydroelectric dam generates minimal waste
A hydroelectric dam requires a coastline
Windmills are more environmentally friendly than a hydroelectric dam in which of the following ways?
Windmill energy is more predictable
Windmills generate fewer greenhouse gases
Windmills have little effect on the surrounding land
Windmills pose no threat to organisms living nearby
Heating homes, cooking, and making fertilizers are primary uses of which type of fuel?
Coal
Crude oil
Natural gas
Peat
Which of the following is an enviornmental concern specific to using natural gas as a form of energy?
Drilling damages the environment
Increase of carbon emissions
Nitrogen oxide emissions increase
Purificaiton produces byproducts
The biggest disadvantage of reliance on coal is that
It forms over millions of years
It has a low heating value
It is difficult to transport
Its extraction damages the environment
The graph shows nuclear energy use by country for electricity production in 2015. Based on teh graph, which region has the largest nuclear energy contribution to electricity production?
Australia
Europe
Japan
North America
Windmissl are more environmentally friendly than a hydroelectric dam in which of teh following ways?
Windmill energy is more predictable
Windmills generate fewer greenhouse gases
Windmills have little effect on the surrounding land

Which of the following describes an advantage of using hydroelectric dams?
Hydroelectric dams change the path of a body of water
Hydroelectric dams can change the temperature of a river
Hydroelectric dams do not interfere with fish migration
Hydroelectric dams emit only a small amount of greenhouse gases
Geothermal power is prohibitive due to
accessibility in many parts of the world
combustion causing greenhous gas emissions
insufficient capture oflight energy
release of volatile organic compounds
