Most of the energy we use originally came from:
The sun
The air
The soil
The oceans
Electrical energy can be produced from:
Mechanical energy
Chemical energy
Radiant energy
All of the above
Which uses the most energy in American homes each year?
Lighting
Water heating
Heating and cooling rooms
Refrigeration
The U.S. consumes lots of energy. Which fuel provides the most energy?
Petroleum
Coal
Natural gas
Solar
Coal, petroleum, natural gas, and propane are fossil fuels. They are called “fossil fuels” because:
They are burned to release energy, and they cause air pollution.
They were formed from the buried remains of plants and tiny animals that lived hundreds of millions of years ago.
They are non-renewable and will run out.
They are mixed with fossils to provide energy.
Gasoline is produced by refining which fossil fuel?
Natural gas
Coal
Petroleum
Propane
Propane is used instead of natural gas on many farms and in rural areas. Why is propane often used instead of natural gas?
What sector of the U.S. economy consumes most of the nation’s petroleum?
Residential
Commercial
Natural gas is transported by:
Pipelines
Trucks
Barges
All three equally
Global warming focuses on an increase in the level of which gas in the atmosphere?
Ozone
Sulfur dioxide
Carbon dioxide
Nitrous oxide
Solar, biomass, geothermal, wind, and hydropower energy are all renewable sources of energy. They are called renewable because they:
Are clean and free to use
Can be converted directly into heat and electricity
Can be replenished by nature in a short period of time
Do not produce air pollution
Today, which renewable energy source provides the U.S. with the most energy?
Wind
Solar
Geothermal
Hydropower
Electricity is the movement of:
Storms
Molecules
Electrons
Neutrons
How much of the energy in burning coal reaches the consumer as electricity?
1/3 (one-third)
1/2 (one-half)
3/4 (three-quarters)
9/10 (nine-tenths)
In a nuclear power plant, uranium atoms:
Combine and give off heat energy
Split and give off heat energy
Burn and give off heat energy
Split and give off electrons
