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. Famous hydroelectric dams






2. Percent of fiber used to make new paper products in the US that comes form recycled sources.






3. Percent of California's energy that comes from renewable resources (excluding hydroelectric plants


4. Scrap material generated by a company and reused or recycled by that company






5. Was the largest dam at the time it was built; still one of the largest hydroelectric plants in the US.






6. The process by which ethane and propane are converted to ethylene and propylene






7. Percent of glass market that is from bottles and jars






8. Reuse of bottles and crushing of collected glass bottles to be re - melted






9. Percent of gasoline that must be ethanol in California






10. 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






11. A kind of polymer that comes in two parts. When the two parts are mixed - they fuse together and harden.






12. The identification code used for different types of plastic resin






13. Percent of landfill material that is waste paper






14. Glass that is crushed and ready to be remelted.






15. Radiation from the Sun that can be used directly for heating - or it can be converted to electricity.

32. Air movement that can be harnessed to give mechanical energy or electricity.






33. Have a structure with links between the chains - forming a rigid - three - dimensional network. When thermoset polymers are heated - they chemically decompose and cannot be reformed into different shapes.






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