Is oil renewable or nonrenewable?
- renewable
- nonrenewable
- a fossil
- a weather hazard
What natural source does coal come from?
- ancient organisms buried underground
- underground fossil fuel deposits
- ancient plant material underground
- moving water in rivers
Which use fits the resource wind?
- heating buildings
- making fuel for vehicles
- turning wind turbines
- powering solar panels
Which effect should people consider when using sunlight?
- burning natural gas releases gases into the air
- wind turbines produce electricity when wind is available
- burning oil fuels vehicles but adds pollution
- solar panels make electricity without burning fuel
Which choice could reduce environmental impact related to flowing water?
- use wind energy where steady winds blow
- use sunlight instead of some coal-generated electricity
- insulate buildings to use less heating fuel
- design dams with fish passages and careful water flow
Is wind renewable or nonrenewable?
- renewable
- a weather hazard
- a fossil
- nonrenewable
What natural source does oil come from?
- the Sun
- ancient organisms buried underground
- moving water in rivers
- ancient plant material underground
Which use fits the resource flowing water?
- powering solar panels
- making fuel for vehicles
- turning turbines in a dam
- burning it to produce electricity
Which effect should people consider when using wind?
- burning oil fuels vehicles but adds pollution
- wind turbines produce electricity when wind is available
- burning coal releases pollution and uses a resource that forms very slowly
- burning natural gas releases gases into the air
Which choice could reduce environmental impact related to natural gas?
- use wind energy where steady winds blow
- insulate buildings to use less heating fuel
- use less fuel by carpooling or using electric transport
- save electricity and use renewable sources when possible
