It runs on oil It produces little to no pollution It produces carbon dioxide It is expensive 14 / 20 How are minerals classified and why? Renewable resources; since they are found abundantly on Earth Renewable resources; since they are formed quickly and are not used up Nonrenewable resources; since they exist in limited amounts on Earth Nonrenewable resources; since they are found everywhere on Earth and easily used 15 / 20 __________is a renewable organic material that comes from plants and animals. hydropower nuclear energy geothermal energy biomass 16 / 20 Water is heated inside the earth to produce steam. The steam is then used to produce electricity. This describes the action of ____________. geothermal energy hydropower biomass nuclear energy 17 / 20 What is biomass energy? Any organic matter that can be used by burning wood and other plant life. A combustible black or dark brown rock consisting mainly of carbonized plant matter, found mainly in underground deposits and widely used as fuel. Made by tapping into steam or hot water reservoirs underground; the heat is used to drive an electrical generator. Radiant energy emitted by the sun. 18 / 20 How is the energy released from fossil fuels? Energy is released by vaporizing fossil fuels. Energy is released by melting fossil fuels. Energy is released by storing fossil fuels. Energy is released by burning fossil fuels. 19 / 20 This energy source uses heat from the ground. wind hydro biomass geothermal 20 / 20 Energy that can be replenished at the same rate as it is used Nonrenewable Energy Natural Gas Alternative Energy Renewable Energy Your score is 0% Restart quiz Go to the Quizzes Page
