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