a
using a gas-powered car
b
using an electric-powered car
c
Solar panels that heat water use the Sun's thermal energy to reduce the need for non-renewable energy sources.
Solar panels that heat water use the Sun's radiant energy to reduce the need for non-renewable energy sources.
True
False
False.
Solar panels that heat water use the Sun's thermal energy, not radiant energy, to heat the water. The panels absorb the Sun's thermal energy and transfer that energy to the water, which reduces the need for non-renewable energy sources to heat the water.
Leaving the lights on when they are not being used is a good way to conserve resources.
True
False
False.
Leaving the lights on when they are not being used is a waste of resources and can lead to increased energy consumption. Conserving resources involves using them efficiently and responsibly, which includes turning off lights and other appliances when they are not needed.
Jenny is trying to help her family conserve electricity, so should she leave her computer running all day even when she is not using it?
True
False
False.
Leaving the computer running all day when not in use uses up unnecessary electricity, which is the opposite of conserving resources. Jenny should turn off her computer when it is not in use to save electricity.
All non-renewable resources theoretically can be exhausted or depleted.
True
False
True.
Non-renewable resources are finite and will eventually run out or become too expensive to extract. Therefore, their use must be managed sustainably to ensure their availability for future generations and minimize the risk of depletion.
Recycling aluminum cans will help to reduce the amount of waste in a landfill.
True
False
True.
Recycling aluminum cans means that they can be made into new cans without the need for new resources to be extracted and processed, which reduces the amount of waste that would end up in a landfill. Additionally, recycling aluminum cans saves energy, which further reduces waste and greenhouse gas emissions.
b
using an electric-powered car
The best question to ask in order to immediately determine whether or not an energy resource is renewable is how long until it runs out.
True
False
False.
The best question to ask in order to immediately determine whether or not an energy resource is renewable is whether it can be replenished at a rate that meets or exceeds its rate of use. This is because renewable resources are replenished naturally and continuously, while non-renewable resources are finite and will eventually run out or become too expensive to extract.
Rare earth metals are rarely found in large quantities on Earth. Instead, they are spread very thinly throughout Earth's crust, making them very difficult to get. Once the resources such as oil are all used, they are gone forever.
True
False
False.
While rare earth metals are indeed difficult to extract in large quantities, making them a valuable and potentially limited resource, the statement about non-renewable resources like oil is inaccurate. While non-renewable resources are finite and will eventually run out, the process is gradual and ongoing, and new reserves may be discovered or alternative sources of energy may be developed. Additionally, non-renewable resources can still be conserved and used sustainably to minimize their depletion and environmental impact.
Windmills are _______________ used to harness wind energy and change it into electricity.
a
renewable energy
b

Conservation is the best way to reduce the need for additional energy consumption.
True
False
True.
Conservation involves using resources efficiently and responsibly, which can reduce the need for additional energy consumption. This can be achieved through various means, including reducing waste, improving efficiency, and using renewable sources of energy. Conservation is typically more cost-effective and environmentally friendly than increasing energy production to meet demand.
As time passes, will global oil reserves continue to increase or decrease as we use them?
a
Decrease
b
Increase
a
Decrease
Conserving resources is important because there are a limited amount of resources on Earth, so conserving them will make them last longer.
True
False
True.
Conserving resources involves using them efficiently and responsibly, which can help extend their lifespan and availability. Many resources, particularly non-renewable ones, are finite and will eventually run out or become too expensive to extract. By conserving resources, we can reduce waste, minimize environmental impacts, and ensure their availability for future generations.
Geothermal energy is a type of energy that harnesses Earth's interior heat and can be used continuously. It is considered a renewable resource.
True
False
True.
Geothermal energy is a form of renewable energy that harnesses the natural heat of the Earth's interior to generate electricity or provide heating and cooling. It is a continuous resource, as the heat from the Earth's interior is constantly replenished by natural processes such as radioactive decay. Geothermal energy can be harnessed through various means, including geothermal power plants and geothermal heat pumps.

To decrease soil erosion, humans can
a
plant more cover crops
b
plant less cover crops
a
plant more cover crops.
Planting more cover crops is an effective way to decrease soil erosion, as it helps to protect the soil from being exposed to wind and rain. The roots of cover crops also help to hold the soil in place, preventing it from being washed away. Additionally, cover crops can add nutrients to the soil, which can improve soil health and prevent erosion.
