Question

question 24 of 26
which type of fuel can only be used in certain geographic areas?

a. biomass
b. coal
c. wind
d. natural gas

Explanation:

To determine which fuel is limited to certain geographic areas, we analyze each option:

• Option A (Biomass): Biomass fuel (e.g., plant matter, animal waste) can be produced in many regions, not strictly limited to specific geographies.
• Option B (Coal): Coal reserves are concentrated in specific regions but can be transported, so use isn’t strictly limited to where it’s mined.
• Option C (Wind): Wind energy depends on consistent wind patterns (e.g., coastal, mountainous, or open plains). Areas with insufficient wind (e.g., calm valleys) can’t use wind power effectively, so wind energy is geographically restricted.
• Option D (Natural Gas): While reserves are regional, pipelines/transport allow use in non - producing areas, so it’s less geographically limited than wind.

Answer:

C. Wind
