The diversity of plant life will increase.

The number of habitats for wild animals will increase.

The amount of oxygen in the atmosphere will increase.

The burning of fossil fuels affects the atmosphere by

adding more heat and carbon dioxide.

reducing the amount of necessary heat.

taking water vapor out of the atmosphere.

putting more oxygen in the atmosphere.

If fossil fuels are used to support energy needs,what will be a negative impact for our planet?

increased levels of CO2,leading to warmer climates

decreased oxygen levels, leading to lower air quality

increased air pollution, leading to better human health

decreased water quality, leading to increases in diversity

What is the key difference between renewable and non-renewable resources?

Non-renewable resources exist in limited quantities; renewable resources replenish

Non-renewable resources exist in unlimited quantities; renewable resources don't.

Non-renewable resources must be refined before humans can use them; renewable resources don't

All non-renewable resources pollute the environment; renewable resources don't.

Which of the following describes what non-renewable resources are?

Fuels that cannot be replaced quickly

Energy source that uses energy from organic matter (living things) to produce steam to spin a turbine when burnt.

Electricity generated from the energy of moving water

plant material manure or any other organic matter

An energy resource formed from the remains of ancient marine organisms that lived millions of years ago. Heat & pressure changed these remains into crude oil, which can be made into products like plastic and gasoline.

The energy captured by transforming the motion of air into electrical energy using a turbine

How does a generator work?

It has a turbine attached to it that spins to generate electric energy from energy of motion .

It generates nonrenewable energy .

It generates electricity by using natural gas energy.

What are the advantages of using resources such as geothermal energy, solar energy, and wind energy?

They come from energy sources that never run out.

They can generate power by burning wastes.

They increase the amount of greenhouse gases.

They produce large amounts of energy from burning fuels.

Why is petroleum considered to be a nonrenewable resource?

It requires a very long period of time to form.

It constantly forms within Earth.

It is difficult to obtain and transport.

It releases harmful chemicals when burned.

Since it's not in limited supply, solar energy is considered a sustainable energy source. What does "sustainable" mean?

Capable of being continued long-term

When looking for a location to build a dam to generate hydroelectric power, a necessary requirement for turning the blades of the turbine to generate power is

access to the heat in the Earth

Oil formation starts when organisms in the ocean die and then

settle to the bottom, buried, and undergo intense heat and pressure

decay completely so that their matter is recycled

are carried by currents all over the planet

get eaten by larger organisms that receive their energy

Biomass can be used as a source for renewable energy. What is biomass?

plant material, animal waste or any other organic matter

Energy that comes from the burning of coal. It is non-renewable and produces a large amount of CO2.

Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom

How are fossil fuels related to the greenhouse effect?

When they are burned, they release large amounts of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the air.

When burned they release helpful fumes.

When used they protect the Earth's atmosphere.

They help the Earth stay clean.

A process of drilling down into the Earth before a high-pressure water mixture is directed at the rock to release the gas inside.

A process of obtaining geothermal energy to generate electricity.

A process of using fossil fuels for energy.

A process of generating electricity from biomass.
