Question

1. match the correct terms to complete the sentences.

most power plants use
to create electricity.

is a fossil fuel that often forms near oil and sits on top of it.

is also called petroleum.

is the act of using less of our resources and protecting the environment.
the overall increase in global temperature is called
.

Explanation:

To solve this, we need to recall relevant scientific terms related to energy, fossil fuels, and environmental concepts:

1. Most power plants use \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ to create electricity.

Power plants commonly use fossil fuels (like coal, natural gas, oil) or other energy sources (e.g., nuclear, renewable) to generate electricity. A common answer here is “fossil fuels” (or specific ones like “coal,” “natural gas,” but “fossil fuels” is general).

1. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ is a fossil fuel that often forms near oil and sits on top of it.

Natural gas (methane) often forms with oil deposits and can be found above oil reservoirs. So the term is “Natural Gas.”

1. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ is also called petroleum.

Crude oil is another name for petroleum. So the term is “Crude Oil.”

1. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ is the act of using less of our resources and protecting the environment.

Conservation (or “resource conservation”) refers to reducing resource use and protecting the environment. So the term is “Conservation.”

1. The overall increase in global temperature is called \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_.

Global warming is the term for the long - term rise in Earth’s average temperature. So the term is “Global Warming.”

Filled - in Sentences:

• Most power plants use $\boldsymbol{\text{fossil fuels}}$ to create electricity.
• $\boldsymbol{\text{Natural Gas}}$ is a fossil fuel that often forms near oil and sits on top of it.
• $\boldsymbol{\text{Crude Oil}}$ is also called petroleum.
• $\boldsymbol{\text{Conservation}}$ is the act of using less of our resources and protecting the environment.
• The overall increase in global temperature is called $\boldsymbol{\text{Global Warming}}$.
