Overgrazing does NOT limit soil erosion on farmland
A. true
B. false
B. false
is this true?
No, it is false. Overgrazing can lead to soil erosion on farmland as it removes the vegetation cover that helps hold the soil in place. With the vegetation gone, the soil is vulnerable to being washed or blown away by wind and water.

True.
Solar panels that heat water utilize the Sun's radiant energy to reduce the need for non-renewable energy sources such as fossil fuels, which are finite and harmful to the environment. By harnessing the energy from the Sun, solar panels can generate heat that can be used directly or stored for later use, reducing reliance on traditional heating and energy sources. This helps to lower energy costs and reduce carbon emissions, which can have a positive impact on the environment.
Loss of topsoil may lead to the pollution of rivers and streams by increasing _________.
a
Weathering
b
Runoff
b. Runoff.
Loss of topsoil can result in increased runoff of sediment, nutrients, and other pollutants into rivers and streams. When there is no topsoil to protect the ground, rainwater or irrigation water flows over the surface instead of soaking into the ground. This runoff can pick up pollutants such as fertilizers, pesticides, and animal waste, which can contaminate nearby rivers and streams. Sediment-filled water can also block sunlight that aquatic plants need and clog fish gills, affecting the health of aquatic ecosystems.
About two-thirds of Georgia is forested and has a lot of potentials to produce power from renewable resources through____________.
a
Biomass
b
Recycling
c
Recharging
a. Biomass.
About two-thirds of Georgia is covered by forests, and biomass offers a potentially significant source of renewable energy in the state. Biomass refers to any plant or organic matter that can be used as fuel for energy production. In Georgia, potential biomass resources include forestry residues, waste from wood processing facilities, agricultural residues, and dedicated energy crops. These resources can be converted into energy through processes such as combustion, gasification, or pyrolysis, with bioenergy sources such as wood pellets, ethanol, or biodiesel being the end products of these processes.

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.
Jenny should not leave her computer running all day when she is not using it if she wants to help conserve electricity. Leaving a computer running when it is not in use wastes electricity and can increase your energy bills. Instead, it's better to turn the computer off or put it in "sleep" or "hibernate" mode when it is not being used. These modes put the computer into low-power states that will help save energy and reduce electricity consumption.
All non-renewable resources theoretically can be exhausted or depleted.
True
False
True.
All non-renewable resources, such as fossil fuels like oil and coal, can eventually be depleted if they are consumed at a rate faster than they are replenished. Unlike renewable resources, which can be replenished over time, non-renewable resources are finite and will eventually run out. Therefore, it is important to use them wisely and develop sustainable alternatives to prevent depletion and ensure the availability of resources 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 type of energy that harnesses Earth's interior heat and can be used continuously. It is considered a renewable resource because the heat that is used is continuously replenished by geological processes. This makes it different from non-renewable resources, such as fossil fuels, which are finite and will eventually be depleted. Geothermal energy can be harnessed through various methods, including geothermal power plants, ground-source heat pumps, and direct-use applications. Its use can reduce reliance on non-renewable energy sources and help to mitigate climate change.
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 is important because there are a limited amount of resources on Earth, and conserving them will make them last longer. Many resources, such as fossil fuels, are non-renewable, which means they are finite and will eventually run out. Similarly, renewable resources, such as fresh water, may become scarce due to overuse or climate change. Therefore, conserving resources helps to prolong their availability and ensures that future generations will have access to them. Additionally, conserving resources can help to reduce environmental damage, lower costs, and reduce carbon emissions.
As time passes, will global oil reserves continue to increase or decrease as we use them?
a
Decrease
b
Increase
a. Decrease.
As we use oil, global oil reserves will decrease over time. Oil is a finite resource, and the rate at which we are extracting oil from the ground often exceeds the rate at which it is being replenished. This means that oil reserves are being depleted faster than new ones are being discovered and developed. The International Energy Agency projects that global oil production will peak and begin to decline in the coming decades unless new oil discoveries or technological innovations significantly increase supplies. Therefore, there are limits to the amount of oil we can extract, and we must develop alternatives to fossil fuels to power our future energy needs.
Conservation is the best way to reduce the need for additional energy consumption.
True
False
True.
Conservation is generally considered the best way to reduce the need for additional energy consumption. By conserving energy, we can reduce the amount of energy we consume, which in turn lowers our carbon footprint, reduces the demand for new power plants, and helps to extend the life of existing power plants. Conservation can be achieved through various methods, including reducing unnecessary energy use, improving energy efficiency, promoting sustainable transportation, and encouraging the use of renewable energy sources. Overall, conservation is an effective and essential strategy for reducing our reliance on non-renewable resources and mitigating climate change.
_____________ is a liquid form of fossil fuel used to make gasoline.
a
Petroleum
b
Oil
c
Water
a. Petroleum.
Petroleum is a liquid form of fossil fuel that is used to make gasoline, as well as diesel fuel, jet fuel, lubricants, and other products. Petroleum is a non-renewable resource that is extracted from underground reservoirs using drilling and well technologies. Once extracted, petroleum is refined to separate the various products that can be made from it, including gasoline. While petroleum has been a crucial source of energy for modern society, its use has also contributed to various environmental problems, including air pollution, climate change, and oil spills.
Energy from burning coal is a _______________source of energy.
a
non-renewable
b
renewable
a. non-renewable.
Energy from burning coal is a non-renewable source of energy. Coal is a fossil fuel that was formed millions of years ago from plant material that was buried and compressed by geological processes. Because it takes such a long time to produce, coal is considered a finite resource that cannot be replaced on a human time scale. Besides, burning coal is associated with a variety of environmental and health impacts, including air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and the release of toxins. Therefore, coal is a non-renewable energy source that needs to be phased out in favor of cleaner and more sustainable alternatives.
Windmills are _______________ used to harness wind energy and change it into electricity.
a
renewable energy
b
non-renewable energy
a. renewable energy.
Windmills are a type of renewable energy technology used to harness wind energy and convert it into electricity. They are typically comprised of blades that are rotated by the wind, which in turn rotate a generator that produces electricity. Wind energy is considered renewable because it is sourced from the wind, which is generated by natural weather patterns and replenished by solar energy. Since wind energy is a clean and renewable source of energy, it can help to mitigate climate change, reduce reliance on non-renewable resources, and provide a sustainable source of energy for future generations.
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
True.
Rare earth metals are indeed rarely found in large quantities on Earth. They are spread very thinly throughout the Earth's crust, making them difficult to extract and refine. In addition, once non-renewable resources such as oil are all used up, they are gone forever, as they are finite and non-renewable. This is one of the reasons why sustainability efforts focus on the transition to renewable resources, which are replenished by natural processes over time.
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: "Is this resource replenished over time by natural processes?" Renewable energy resources are replenished by natural processes, which means that their supply is essentially inexhaustible, whereas non-renewable energy resources are finite and will eventually be depleted. Therefore, asking whether a resource is replenished over time is a much more effective way to determine its renewable status.
