Questions 30

Answers

1
Why oil takes so long to form
life cycle of animalthat fossilizes into oil takes millionyr
process of burying remains deeply takes millions of years
reactions that change biochemicals to shale takes million yr
reactions that change shale to oil takes millions of years
2
energy source that is least dangerous to the environment
nuclear power
hydroelectric power plant (dam)
natural gas
geothermal
3
Reducing energy consumption to save electricity; reduce/reuse/recycle
energy conservation
running a drop cord from the neighbor's house
Leave lights on when you leave the room
4
Most affected by increased carbon dioxide levels from the burning of fossil fuels
ability of farmers to plant crops
ability of Earth to maintain lower temperatures
ability of scientists to study other planets
ability of earth to recycle rocks
5
Which is a benefit of converting to solar energy
increase in cost of energy
increase in use of fossil fuels
decrease in air pollution
decrease in electrical energy production
6
Which energy sources depend on the sun
solar and nuclear
wind and solar
solar and geothermal
nuclear and coal
7
Which would most likely affect hydroelectric power
drought
frost
acid rain
shortage of uranium
8
Which can release radiation to the environment?
hydroelectric power plant
geothermal power
coal-burning power plant
nuclear power plant
9
Cause of acid rain
burning fossil fuels which adds sulfur pollutants to the air
animal waste being evaporated into the sky
droughts without much moisture
acid is evaporated into the air and rains down
10
Source of energy that may impact plant growth
solar
biomass
geothermal
hydroelectricity
11
How acid rain affects forests over time
animals have more food
trees become less healthy
top soil loses nutrients
plants grow deeper roots
12
Energy that uses energy from the sun
nuclear
geothermal
solar energy
wind turbine
13
How do reduce home heating bill in winter
using more insulation in walls
removing thick rugs and heavy curtains
replace wood doors with aluminum doors
painting roof of home white
14
Which has a negative impact on the environment
solar panel
hydroelectric power plant (dam water)
coal-burning power plant
wind turbine
15
Which BEST describes a nonrenewable resource?
in limited supply
does not produce pollution
in unlimited supply
produces pollution
16
Which is an example of conservation of energy?
Resting when you are tired
Niagara Falls producing energy for both Canada and the US
Incandescent light bulbs being replaced with fluorescent
Windmills capturing wind power for over 2,000 years
17
Natural resource like coal, oil and natural gas made from remains of living organisms
fossil fuels
renewable resources
geothermal plant
18
Which renewable energy source would most likely cause loss of habitat?
geothermal
nuclear
hydroelectric
solar
19
Uses heat from the Earth to produce energy (places where there is magma close under the crust)
wind turbine
solar
geothermal energy
nuclear
20
What is your prediction for how energy production will change over the next 100 years?
coal and fossil fuel use will remain the same
Use of renewable energy will increase
Coal and fossil fuel use will increase
21
Result of extremely hot water being pumped into a lake after it cools a nuclear reactor
great for baths!
more fish come because water is warmer
an algal bloom in the lake
fish kill due to lowered dissolved oxygen
22
Best reason that wind turbines are better for air quality that burning fossil fuels
energy from wind power is easy to store
equipment for getting energy from wind is expensive
wind is more efficient that fossil fuels
wind produces less pollution that fossil fuels
23
Disadvantage of using solar or wind energy to produce electricity
Their ability to produce energy is inconsistent and varies
They are an expensive way to produce energy
They are renewable
They are controlled energy resources
24
describe the crust in regions where geothermal energy is produced
is heated by nearby magma
large amounts of oil reserves
rich in precious metals
reaches deep into the Earth
25
how coal compares to natural gas
both renewable
both nonrenewable
coal is renewable, natural gas is nonrenewable
coal is nonrenewable, natural gas is renewable
26
Grade I plan to make on this test
A
Girl, you don't even want to know!
B
C
27
Best reason for an increase in use of renewable energy resources
decreased expense of fossil fuels
choose energy resources that have less impact on environment
conservation of fossil fuels
development of more expensive energy collection techniques
28
Greatest contributor to air pollution in US
automobiles
burning waste
