Answer: B. Biomass at 43% of all renewable energy |
|
Which alternative energy source is PHOTOVOLTAIC SOLAR? A B C D E F
|
Answer: E |
|
Which alternative energy source is BIOMASS? A B C D E F
|
Answer: F |
|
Which alternative energy source is HYDROELECTRIC? A B C D E F
|
Answer: D. Using water to move the turbine to produce electrical power is called hydroelectric power |
|
Which alternative energy source is NUCLEAR ENERGY?A B C D E F |
The diagram DOES NOT have uranium as a source of nuclear energy |
|
Which alternative energy source is GEOTHERMAL?A B C D E F |
Answer: B . Geothermal energy uses steam |
|
Which alternative energy source is WIND?A B C D E F |
Answer: C |
|
|
Which type of ALTERNATIVE energy does NOT need to use a turbine and generator to produce electricity? A. Nuclear Energy B. Wind Energy C. Hydroelectric D. Solar Energy
|
The correct answer is option D. Solar energy does not need to use a turbine and generator to produce electricity. Solar energy is a renewable energy source that converts sunlight directly into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) cells or solar panels. |
|
|
Which of the following can be used as alternative FUELS to produce heat and ultimately producing electricity?A. Uranium-235 B. Cow dung C. Wood D. All of the above
|
The correct answer is option D. All of the above can be used as alternative fuels to produce heat and ultimately producing electricity |
|
|
Which of the following can be used as an alternative source of STEAM to directly spin a turbine and ultimately produce electricity? A. Wind B. Hydroelectric C. Geothermal D. All of the above |
The correct answer is option C. Geothermal energy can be used as an alternative source of steam to directly spin a turbine and ultimately produce electricity. Geothermal energy is a renewable energy source that uses the heat from the earth’s core or crust to heat water and produce steam. |
|
|
Which of the following can be used as an alternative way to directly SPIN a TURBINE and ultimately produce electricity? A. Wind B. Hydroelectric C. Geothermal D. All of the above
|
Answer: D. All of the above |
|
|
True or False: The only energy source with NO negatives (cons) is solar because it generates electricity in a completely different way than all the others. |
The answer is False. Solar energy is not the only energy source with no negatives, and it does not generate electricity in a completely different way than all the others. Solar energy generates electricity by converting sunlight directly into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) cells or solar panels |
|
|
Which ALTERNATIVE energy directly generates carbon dioxide (CO2) when used to produce energy? A. Geothermal B. Solar C. Wind Power D. Hydroelectric E. Biomass F. Nuclear energy
|
The correct answer is option E. Biomass energy directly generates carbon dioxide (CO2) when used to produce energy. Biomass energy is a renewable energy source that uses organic matter, such as wood, crops, or waste, to produce heat by burning or gasification, which then produces steam, which then drives a turbine and a generator to produce electricity. |
|
Which state produces some of its energy using OIL? A. Arizona B. Texas C. Louisiana
|
Answer: C. Louisiana |
|
Which STATE generates the LARGEST amount of its energy from ALTERNATIVE energy sources AND what PERCENTAGE is generated from these sources in that state? A. Texas - 55% B. Arizona - 42% C. Arizona - 31% D. Louisiana - 26%
|
Answer: B. Arizona - 42% |
|
