Question

1. which energy source is produced by the splitting of atoms in nuclear power plants? a) geothermal b) nuclear c) natural gas d) solar 8. which is a disadvantage of renewable energy sources? a) they create pollution when burned b) they can be weather - dependent and inconsistent c) they will eventually run out d) they are always more expensive 9. which of the following statements is true about fossil fuels? a) they are renewable because they come from nature b) they produce no pollution when burned c) they are nonrenewable and release greenhouse gases d) they are the cleanest form of energy 10. which renewable energy source comes from the heat beneath the earths surface? a) wind b) solar c) geothermal d) biomass

Explanation:

Question 7:

Nuclear energy is produced by splitting atoms in nuclear power plants through nuclear fission. Geothermal comes from Earth's heat, natural gas is a fossil - fuel, and solar is from the sun.

Question 8:

Renewable energy sources like solar and wind are weather - dependent and can be inconsistent in power generation. They don't create pollution when burned (unlike fossil - fuels), are renewable so won't run out, and are not always more expensive.

Question 9:

Fossil fuels are nonrenewable and release greenhouse gases when burned. They are not renewable, produce pollution when burned, and are not the cleanest form of energy.

Question 10:

Geothermal energy comes from the heat beneath the Earth's surface. Wind is from air movement, solar is from the sun, and biomass is from organic matter.

Answer:

1. B. Nuclear
2. B. They can be weather - dependent and inconsistent
3. C. They are nonrenewable and release greenhouse gases
4. C. Geothermal
