Wind Power

What is wind energy production?

• Wind energy production is the extraction of wind from the atmosphere.

• Wind energy production is the process of creating wind turbines.

• Wind energy production is the generation of wind through mechanical means.

• Wind energy production is the conversion of wind energy into usable electricity.

Name one advantage of wind power.

• High maintenance costs

• Environmentally friendly

• Intermittent energy source

• Expensive to build

What are renewable energy sources?

• Solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass energy

• Wave energy

• Coal, oil, natural gas

• Nuclear energy

How is wind energy produced?

• Wind energy is produced by burning fossil fuels.

• Wind energy is produced by nuclear reactors.

• Wind energy is produced by solar panels.

• Wind energy is produced by wind turbines converting the kinetic energy of moving air into electricity.

List two advantages of using wind power.

• Inconsistent power generation, Noisy operation

• Non-renewable, Expensive to install

• Limited availability, High maintenance costs

• Renewable, Low operating costs

Why is wind power considered a renewable energy source?

• Wind power is renewable because it depletes the ozone layer.

• Wind power is renewable because it uses up all wind currents available.

• Wind power is renewable due to its reliance on fossil fuels.

• Wind power is considered renewable because it relies on natural wind currents that are continuously replenished by the sun's heat.

Explain the process of converting wind energy into electricity.

• Wind energy is converted into electricity by burning fossil fuels.

• Wind energy is converted into electricity through the use of wind turbines.

• Wind energy is converted into electricity by nuclear fusion.

• Wind energy is converted into electricity by using solar panels.

What are the environmental benefits of wind power?

• Reduces air pollution, combats climate change, conserves water resources, reduces reliance on fossil fuels

• Depletes ozone layer

• Increases greenhouse gas emissions

• Causes deforestation

How does wind power contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions?

• Wind power has no impact on reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

• Wind power contributes to greenhouse gas emissions by depleting natural resources.

• Wind power increases greenhouse gas emissions by releasing harmful gases into the atmosphere.

• Wind power generates electricity without burning fossil fuels, reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Discuss the economic benefits of wind power.

• Wind power is expensive and not cost-effective

• Wind power has no impact on reducing greenhouse gas emissions

• Wind power provides a clean energy source, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, decreases air pollution, and creates job opportunities in various sectors.

• Wind power does not create job opportunities
