CSET Renewable Sources Of Energy And Recycling

Subjects : cset, science
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Amount of energy required to make a ton of recycled aluminum.






2. In China - still being built - will produce the most hydroelectric power in the world






3. Percent of landfill material that is waste paper






4. Percent of California's energy that comes from hydroelectric plants


5. The use of the kinetic energy in moving water such as rivers or tidal currents to generate electricity. The most widely used form of renewable energy






6. Percent of aluminum that is recycled in California
