Solar and Wind Quiz1. ____________ - is moving air, which is caused by the uneven heating of the earth. Some areas get direct sunlight while other areas get indirect sunlight. Warm air weighs less than cold air. Warm air rises and the cold air replaces the warm air. This movement of air produces the answer to this question. 2. _________ _________ - using sunlight for useful energy WITHOUT USE of active mechanical systems, such as solar panels. A "planetarium" is an example of this. 3. _____________ - also, sol - means 'pertaining' to the sun. 4. ______________ - "Energy" that comes from moving water. (The force of the water pushes on blades in a turbine and produces electricity). 5. _______ ________ - "Energy" from the movement of wind. (Windmill and wind turbines use the force of wind to spin their blades and produce energy.) 6. ___________ ________ - A renewable source of "Energy" that is made from plant material and animal waste. 7. ___________ __________ - "Energy" that comes from splitting atoms of radioactive materials, like uranium. 8. ______________ _________ - A heat "Energy" that is produced by the natural processes of the earth. This heat energy can be taken from hot springs, reservoirs for hot water 'deep below' the ground. 9. ________ ________ - This radiant "Energy" of the sun can be converted into other forms of energy. For example, lights and heat. 10. _________ _______ - "Energy" that comes from the movement of waves and tides. 11. _____________ ________ - This "Energy" can be replenished in a short period of time. Sunlight, wind, water, geothermal, and plants are an example of this energy. 12. ____-____________ ________ - This "Energy" can NOT be replenished in a short period of time.These 'energy sources' come out of the ground as a solid, liquid or gas. Oil, coal, natural gas, uranium are examples of this energy. 13. ___________ - Is the ability to do work or the ability to move an object. 14. _______ - This is consumed to produce energy. Examples are wood, coal, gases which are burned to produce heat or power. Other example is the food people all living things eat. 15. ______ - This fossil fuel was formed millions of years ago from the breakdown from trees and vegetables. 16. __________ - This fuel is made from sugars found in grains. Example of these grains are corn, wheat, sorghum, rice sugar canes, sugar beats, potato skins and even yard clippings. 17. ______ - This fuel is a black liquid fossil fuel found deep in the Earth. This fuel is from the remains of plants and animals (like dinosaurs) that lived millions of years ago. This fuel makes gasoline, diesel, and most plastics. 18. _________ - This fuel is made from plants (biomass). These fuels are usually mixed with diesel and gasoline fuels. Examples of these are ethanol and bio diesel. 19. ___________- This gas is very rarely used as a fuel. It is the lightest of all gases and the most abundant element in the Universe. It is colorless, odorless and highly flammable. 20. _________ ___________ - Any long-term change in the weather patterns of an area. 21. ________________ - All the living and non-living things found on Earth or in some particular region. Such as air, plants, animals, soil, water. 22. ________ ____________ - This is the practice of using less energy to do something the same as or better than before. 23. ________ _____________ - This is the practice of decreasing the amount of energy used. 24. ___________ - Plant materials and animals wastes used as a source of fuel. 25. ___________ - The average weather conditons of a region. For example, the south pole and north pole are freezing and icy while the desert is dry and hot. 26. _____________ _______ - Is a device that converts energy from light into electricity 27. _______________ - Is something that can be used over and over again, sometimes for a different purpose. For example, a "metal tin can" can be made into another can or into something completely different. 28. _______ ____________ - This is a rotating device that converts the movement of air into electricity. 29. __________ ___________ - An 'increase' in the average temperature of the Earth. This topic is also very controversial. 30. _______________ __________ - This is produced when greenhouse gases trap solar radiation in the Earth's atmosphere and warms the Earth. This natural process keeps the Earth temperature about 60 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than it would be without it. Thus we need this process to keep living on Earth.
