Sustainability Quiz

What are some examples of renewable energy sources?

• Nuclear power and fossil fuels

• Biomass and landfill gas

• Sunlight, wind, water, and geothermal heat

• Coal, natural gas, and oil

How does solar energy contribute to sustainability?

• It reduces greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels.

• It increases greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels.

• It has no impact on greenhouse gas emissions or dependence on fossil fuels.

• It contributes to deforestation and air pollution.

Explain the concept of wind power and its role in sustainability.

• Wind power is the use of solar energy to generate electricity. It is not a sustainable energy source.

• Wind power is the use of geothermal energy to generate electricity. It is not an effective way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

• Wind power is the use of water currents to generate electricity. It is not a renewable energy source.

• Wind power is the use of wind to generate electricity. It is a renewable and sustainable energy source that helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels.

What is the importance of hydroelectric power in sustainable energy production?

• It is a renewable energy source with minimal environmental impact.

• It is expensive and unaffordable

• It causes significant harm to the environment

• It is not a reliable source of energy

How can individuals conserve water at home?

• By using water excessively for washing cars and driveways

• By taking shorter showers, fixing leaks, using water-saving appliances, and collecting rainwater for outdoor use.

• By ignoring any leaks and not fixing them

• By leaving the faucet running all the time

What are some methods for reducing water usage in agriculture?

• Planting the same crop in the same field every year

• Using more water for irrigation

• Ignoring soil moisture levels

• Implementing drip irrigation, rainwater harvesting, soil moisture monitoring, and crop rotation.

Explain the impact of deforestation on climate change.

• Deforestation has no impact on climate change

• Deforestation helps to absorb more carbon dioxide, reducing climate change

• Deforestation leads to an increase in oxygen levels, reducing climate change

• Deforestation releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change.

What are some strategies for reducing carbon emissions?

• Burning more fossil fuels

• Encouraging the use of coal power plants

• Promoting the use of renewable energy sources and improving energy efficiency

• Cutting down more trees

How does the use of public transportation contribute to climate change mitigation?

• By reducing the number of individual cars on the road, leading to lower greenhouse gas emissions.

• By contributing to deforestation and loss of carbon sinks.

• By encouraging people to use more fossil fuels for transportation.

• By increasing the number of cars on the road, leading to higher greenhouse gas emissions.
