Electricity
Trees
Wind
Water
Which example is NOT a renewable resource?
Trees
Wind
Solar
Uranium (Nuclear)
What is one disadvantage of coal?
Coal produces air pollution.
There isn't a lot of coal left which makes it expensive.
The world isn't using a lot of coal which makes it an undesirable job.
You can only use it to roast hot dogs and cook hamburgers.
All are examples of Nonrenewable energy sources EXCEPT...
Coal
Petroleum
Hydropower
Uranium (Nuclear)
What is one disadvantage of renewable energy?
Electricity and power could become much cheaper.
Third world countries could have affordable energy.
Many people could become energy independent.
Most sources are expensive to get started.
How is geothermal energy harvested? (How do we get it?)
solar panels collect the sunlight.
The heat from the earth boils water to create steam.
We pump it from the earth and refine it into gasoline.
We drill for it and burn it like coal or wood.
What is one disadvantage of using hydropower?
Hydropower is a renewable energy resource. There are no disadvantages.
The power is used as electricity to power large buildings instead of homes.
Building dams can damage natural wildlife and water systems like lakes and rivers.
Most of the time there isn't enough water power to create electricity.
What can you infer about fossil fuels from their name?
They emit harmful gases when burned.
They've been buried in the earth's crust for millions of years.
They're the most abundant energy source on the planet.
They're used to make gasoline.
Which of the following is a true statement about fossil fuels?

Which of these is an advantage of fossil fuels?
You can extract them without complicated machinery.
They are relatively inexpensive to produce.
Burning them does not have any negative side effects.
There is an unlimited supply of them.
Crude oil must be refined before it can be used as fuel. What does "refined" mean?
Taxed
Created
Purified
Burned
What can you infer about the word "geothermal?"
It's derived from words meaning "heat" and "earth."
