2. Energy Review Earth Science Mr. Lane

3. Answer the following questions to help you review for your Energy Assessment.

4. What energy resources are causing pollution through burning and are becoming scarce because they are nonrenewable?

5. Fossil Fuels

6. What energy source uses the power of underground heat to produce steam and make electricity?

7. Geothermal Energy

8. In hydroelectric power, what type of energy is available from water that is waiting to fall over the dam and produce electricity?

9. Potential Energy

10. What type of energy is considered dangerous, but is used at North Anna and Surry in Virginia to produce electricity?

11. Nuclear Fission

12. A resource from the ground that is used to produce gasoline, heating oil, and hundreds of other products is known as what?

13. Petroleum/ Oil

14. What energy source gives us more energy in a day than we could use in a lifetime, but we use it very inefficiently?

15. The Sun Solar Energy

16. What energy source is clean, has been used for over one hundred years and creates recreational areas when the power plant is built?

17. Hydroelectric Power

18. The wise use of all of our natural resources is known as what?

19. Conservation

20. This energy source uses the daily changes in the level of the ocean to generate electricity. It can create shipping problems. What is it?

21. Tidal Power (another form of hydroelectricity)

22. What is the cleanest burning of all fossil fuels, we use this as an open flame in our homes ?

23. Natural Gas

24. What energy source creates quantities of radioactive waste that will have to be stored for thousands of years?

25. Nuclear Fission

26. What fossil fuel does Virginia have a reasonably large supply of in the Appalachian Plateau?

27. Coal

28. Potential Energy is converted to this when water allowed to flow over a dam or steam flows through pipes to drive a generator.

29. Kinetic Energy

30. The uneven heating of the Earth produces this source of energy which is harnessed using propeller driven turbines.

31. Wind Power

32. Using available resources more than once to save resources still in the Earth is called what?

33. Recycling

34. The burning of fossil fuels will cause this to develop and harm our atmosphere.

35. Air Pollution

36. This energy source has been used by man for thousands of years and it takes living things to make energy.

37. Biomass

38. Ultimately, who is responsible for the energy future of the world?

39. We all are.

40. Eighteen questions. How did you do? I hope you learned something. Please be prepared for the Energy Test.
