What are the 3 main fossil fuels?
Coal, Oil, and nuclear fuel
Coal, Oil, and Natural Gas
Electricity, Gas, Petroleum
Coal, Oil, Non-renewable Resources
Why are fossils fuels so widely used?
They are renewable so they won't run out.
They pollution they produce is less compared to renewable energy sources.
They are easy to obtain and process.
They don't disrupt the environment when mined from the earth.
All of the following are considered renewable energy sources EXCEPT –
Wind
Coal
Biomass
Solar
This type of alternative energy is formed from burning living things.
Biomass Energy
Geothermal Energy
Hydropower Energy
This type of alternative energy is formed from energy from moving air.
Solar Energy
Geothermal Energy
Wind Energy
Renewable energy resources produce less_____________ than fossil fuels.
pollution
energy
wind
light
The pictures show a forest before and after deforestation, a process where many trees are cut down.
Which of the following best explains why trees are called a renewable resources?
If a tree is cut down, a new tree can be planted in its place.
If a tree is cut down, the animals that depended on the tree will help the tree grow back.
Only humans use trees, so tree populations will never fall below the number that are needed.
Only paper is made from trees, so the tree population will never run out.
What are fossil fuels?
energy sources that dinosaurs made when they were alive coal, oil, uranium
energy sources that are made in a factory and we will never run out of like oil, natural gas, uranium
sources of enery that take millions of years to form from the remains of dead animals and plants like coal, oil, natural gas
energy sources that the earth gives us for our birthdays like geothemals, coal, natural gas

Why is water a renewable resource?
It can be frozen into ice.
It evaporates into air.
It is constantly replaced.

a resource that can be replaced quickly and is used repeatedly
a resource that cannot be replaced once it has been used up
are limited on earth and can run out
a resource that CANNOT be replaced once it is used, or there is only a fixed amount of
renewable resource
nonrenewable resources
natural resources
Resources we get from our house that mom makes
Resources we get from the store that were made in a factory
a material that comes from the Earth or the environment and occurs naturally
they take a short time to form
A resource is considered renewable if it -
can be created only over millions of years
is made of Earths’ materials like rocks and minerals
can be replaced in a relatively short amount of time
is useful to humans in making energy and materials

Student A
Student B
Student C
Student D
Why is water classified as a renewable rather than a nonrenewable resource? Water is classified as renewable because it -
is constantly replaced
is important to all life
can be frozen into ice
evaporates into the air
