Energy Sources Quiz

What type of energy is generated by the movement of water through dams?

• Solar energy

• Wind energy

• Hydro energy

• Geothermal energy

What are the three main types of fossil fuels?

• Coal, oil (petroleum), and natural gas

• Coal, solar, and wind

• Natural gas, uranium, and coal

• Oil (petroleum), natural gas, and geothermal energy

What is renewable energy?

• Energy that comes from fossil fuels

• Energy that is generated from nuclear power

• Energy that comes from sources that are naturally replenished, such as solar, wind, and hydro.

• Energy that is produced by burning biomass.

Which of the following is NOT a fossil fuel?

• Coal

• Oil

• Natural Gas

• Wind

How must fossil fuels be used to release their energy?

• Fossil fuels must be burned to use the energy inside of them.

• Fossil fuels must be stored underground to release their energy.

• Fossil fuels must be mixed with water to release their energy.

• Fossil fuels must be cooled to room temperature to release their energy.

What is the process of converting wind energy into electricity called?

• Solar power generation

• Wind power generation

• Hydroelectric power generation

• Geothermal power generation

What is hydroelectric power?

• Electricity generated by harnessing the energy of flowing water.

• Electricity generated by solar panels.

• Electricity generated by burning fossil fuels.

• Electricity generated by wind turbines.

Which fossil fuel is formed from the remains of dead plants?

• Natural Gas

• Oil

• Coal

• Peat

What is the role of turbines in energy generation?

• Turbines convert kinetic energy from wind or water into mechanical energy, which is then converted into electricity.

• Turbines store energy for later use in power plants.

• Turbines are used to filter air in energy generation processes.

• Turbines generate heat energy from fossil fuels.

What is the main advantage of using renewable energy sources?

• They are non-renewable and cheap.

• They are sustainable and have a lower environmental impact.

• They require more land and resources to produce.

• They are less efficient than fossil fuels.
