Renewable Resources
This renewable resource would be most needed in an arid climate
Water
This is formed by the fossilization of plants and other organic matter over long periods of time
Coal
Organisms needing other organisms to survive. (relying on one another)
Interdependence
A country is seeking to diversify its energy sources. What are some energy options belong to the category of non-renewable resources? List two
Oil, Coal, Natural Gas, Nuclear
List an energy resource that is likely to result in environmental pollution
Coal, Natural Gas
This resource is not renewable but is considered sustainable
Nuclear
Our stoves are powered by this non renewable resource
Natural Gas
An oil spill happens in the gulf of mexico, and fish are poisoned. How might this affect fish prices at the supermarket?
Fish prices would go up.
A coastal town is planning to harness energy from its environment.
Which initiative aligns BEST with sustainable resource utilization?
B Establishing wind turbines.
Flooding is a main risk of this type of renewable resource energy generation
Hydroelectric
This renewable resource is only impacted by weather/cloud cover
Solar
This resource is quite clean despite having massive risks should anything go wrong
nuclear
The effects on natural interdependence when humans clear large areas of forest to build things
Animals lose their habitat, which leads to population decline, increased competition for resources, and possibly higher scarcity for human consumption
A city is exploring energy resource options that do not produce greenhouse gases. What energy sources align?
Geothermal, Nuclear, Solar, Wind
An agricultural region faces a pest infestation leading to crop failure.
What is the MOST likely economic impact on the region?
Agricultural output decline
This renewable resource can be accessed essentially anywhere on earth
Geothermal
A majority of our power is provided by non renewable resources, T or F?
T
Coal, Oil, Water, Natural gas, Nuclear, Wind, and Solar all can produce ??
electricity
WHat is the ability to be maintained at a certain rate or level?
Sustainability
This energy resource is generated from the product of masses of organic material
Biomass
How is electricity formed from a hydroelectric dam?
Water falls, spins a turbine, which passes the kinetic energy into a generator which creates electricity
This word means the product and discharge of something. This is relevant to our use of nonrenewable resources and what we produce from them
Emissions
PV technology within solar panels stands for what
Photovoltaic
The reason natural gas is not sustainable despite being NATURAL?
It cannot be maintained at a certain rate forever. It will run out.
The main difference between renewable and non renewable resources
Renewable Resources can be reused while NR cannot
