Renewable Energy

Subject : science
Instructions:
  • Answer 45 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. Solid to liquid biomass with chemistry and heat






2. Pockets of hot water or steam underground






3. Secondary Pollution (Toxic materials and alcohols - Blocking the sun for some animals - No direct pollution though!) - Bird death ray - Startup cost






4. Replenish themselves or are continuously present






5. Known deposits which can be extracted from profitably using modern technology under certain economic conditions






6. Most used energy source in the united states






7. Natural gas that is super cooled to gas phase so it can be transported easier/safer






8. Energy resource that can replenish itself






9. High start-up cost - Unreliable - Energy companies see it as a supplemental power - Strong winds usually not near population - Energy grids are not set up for wind






10. Air cools more quickly over land than water






11. Heat is recovered as steam or hot water to: 1. Create electricity 2. Heat buildings






12. Least expensive alternate energy - Sustainable - Renewable - No carbon emission - Once tower is up - almost no cost to maintain






13. Burning 'rubbish.'






14. Air is heated from ground - warm air flows upward - cold air replaces it






15. Environmental Impact - High startup cost - Low efficiency in some cases






16. Same as pyrolysis BUT - more heat and less gas






17. Barrage dam






18. Air heated more from ground near equator






19. Just burning biomass






20. Shifting of ground as a result of drilling/mining under it






21. Where the most Geothermal Energy is produced in all of the United States






22. Produces electricity and heat






23. Heat and Electricity






24. Most used renewable resource in the United States






25. Radiant energy from the sun heats Earth and atmosphere






26. Acidic precursors from coal mines get into surrounding water sources due to rain flushing them out






27. Burning wood






28. Naturally occurring substance that can potentially be extracted using modern technology






29. Finite supply being used faster than they can be replenished






30. Hardness - volatility

31. Burning to get heat and electricity






32. Photovoltaic (PV) devices or Solar Energy Plant






33. Pumping water into an oil well to increase pressure and improve recovery






34. What country leads the world in wind energy generating?






35. Release less than 1% of CO2 - Hydrogen Sulfide pollution - 97% less acid rain pollutants - Sources of geothermal are often National Treasures






36. Bacteria ferment BM with sugars






37. The difference between low and high tide. the height difference.






38. It's reliable and consistent - It gives off very little pollution - Lessen the burden of fossil fuels and nuclear energy!






39. Compact biomass with high temperatures - increading the VED






40. Volumetric energy density---- increased by pelletisation






41. Bacteria breaks biomass down without oxygen with product mixed gas. LFG's






42. Energy that can be obtained from movement of water due to gravitational pull of sun - moon - and Earth's rotation.






43. Time - heat - pressure






44. Lowest rank of coal






45. Mechanical energy (wind) to electricity
