Most of the developing countries in the world depend on _______ for their main source of energy.

biomass (including wood, manure, etc)

a downside to relying on biomass as a primary fuel source for a nation is that

it can cause soil erosion, water pollution, and habitat loss

it produces more pollution than coal

Which of the following is a disadvantage of solar energy?

It can only be used effectively in certain regions and certain times of day

It produces greenhouse gases during use

It is a nonrenewable energy source

It is inexpensive compared to other sources

Which of the following characteristics is common to coal and petroleum

both are forms of ancient organic matter buried deep within the earth's crust.

Both were formed by the remains of ancient marine organisms

Both release significant amounts of mercury when burned.

Both are considered renewable resources.

Both require fractional distillation

Which of the following best describes the energy resource used most often for heating and cooking in less developed countries?

Biomass is the predominant fuel source because it is easily obtained locally.

Bituminous coal is primarily used because of its relative abundance and high moisture content.

Cogeneration from fuel oil systems is primarily used because it has low up-front costs.

Natural gas is the most prevalent fuel source because it is readily available and produces few air pollutants.

Which of the following best describes an advantage of burning biomass rather than burning fossil fuels in developing countries?

Biomass production is cheaper than fossil fuel extraction, making it more readily available for use.

Biomass production requires less open space than fossil fuel extraction does, so land is available for other purposes.

Burning biomass is associated with fewer human respiratory concerns than fossil fuels are because it does not give off sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides.

Burning biomass is more efficient than burning fossil fuels, providing more available energy from less of the resource.

Based on the data, which of the following policies would most likely make the greatest reduction in the ecological footprint for all of the cities shown in the graph?

Setting higher fuel efficiency standards for vehicles

Increasing the cost to use public transportation

Offering tax incentives to individuals who recycle clothing and home goods

Subsidizing the cost of solar panel installation for homeowners

Which of the following is a drawback to using biofuels, such as ethanol, as a fuel source?

There is high energy investment in producing and processing the crops needed for ethanol production.

Ethanol-blended gasoline has higher carbon emissions than petroleum alone.

The global demand for biofuels is continually decreasing.

Ethanol-blended gasoline increases the likelihood of freezing gas lines in winter months.
