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.

2. Made or recovered from both new and scrap product






3. On border of Brazil and Paraguay - produces enough energy to fulfill all of California's needs.






4. Refers to the removing of oxygen from a metal ore by burning it with a carbon - based fuel or electrolytically.






5. Amount of energy required to make a ton of recycled aluminum.






6. The largest damn in the US and the third largest hydroelectric facility in the world






7. 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
