nuclear
7
Why does oil takes so long to form
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
life cycle of animalthat fossilizes into oil takes millionyr
8
Best reason that wind turbines are better for air quality then burning fossil fuels
wind produces less pollution then fossil fuels
equipment for getting energy from wind is expensive
wind is more efficient that fossil fuels
energy from wind power is easy to store
9
What is a 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
10

solar
nuclear
wind turbine
geothermal energy
12
Which has a negative impact on the environment
hydroelectric power plant (dam water)
solar panel
coal-burning power plant
wind turbine
13
Best reason for an increase in use of renewable energy resources
choose energy resources that have less impact on environment
development of more expensive energy collection techniques
decreased expense of fossil fuels
conservation of fossil fuels
14
Which energy sources depend on the sun
solar and geothermal
nuclear and coal
solar and nuclear
wind and solar
15
Which is a benefit of converting to solar energy
increase in use of fossil fuels
increase in cost of energy
decrease in air pollution
decrease in electrical energy production
16
energy source that is least dangerous to the environment
geothermal
hydroelectric power plant (dam)
natural gas
nuclear power
17

Resting when you are tired
Niagara Falls producing energy for both Canada and the US
18
Which renewable energy source would most likely cause loss of habitat?
geothermal
nuclear
solar
hydroelectric
19
What is your prediction for how energy production will change over the next 100 years?
humans will not be here
coal and fossil fuel use will remain the same
Coal and fossil fuel use will increase
Use of renewable energy will increase
20

hydroelectric
wind turbine
nuclear
solar
21
Cause of acid rain
acid is evaporated into the air and rains down
burning fossil fuels which adds sulfur pollutants to the air
droughts without much moisture
animal waste being evaporated into the sky
22
Advantage of using fossil fuels over solar power
fossil fuel stations need less maintenance than solar panels
fossil fuels are an abundant renewable resource
fossil fuels cost less to obtain
fossil fuels are available regardless of the weather
23
What is the result of extremely hot water being pumped into a lake after it cools a nuclear reactor
more fish come because water is warmer
fish kill due to lowered dissolved oxygen
great for baths!
an algal bloom in the lake
