Answer the following questions to help you review
for your Energy Assessment.
3
What energy resources are causing pollution
through burning and are becoming scarce because
they are nonrenewable?
4
Fossil Fuels
5
What energy source uses the power of underground
heat to produce steam and make electricity?
6
Geothermal Energy
7
In hydroelectric power, what type of energy is
available from water that is waiting to fall over
the dam and produce electricity?
8
Potential Energy
9
What type of energy is considered dangerous, but
is used at North Anna and Surry in Virginia to
produce electricity?
10
Nuclear Fission
11
A resource from the ground that is used to
produce gasoline, heating oil, and hundreds of
other products is known as what?
12
Petroleum/Oil
13
What energy source gives us more energy in a day
than we could use in a lifetime, but we use it
very inefficiently?
14
The Sun

• Solar Energy

15
What energy source is clean, has been used for
over one hundred years and creates recreational
areas when the power plant is built?
16
Hydroelectric Power
17
The wise use of all of our natural resources is
known as what?
18
Conservation
19
This energy source uses the daily changes in
thelevel of the ocean to generate electricity.
It can create shipping problems. What is it?
20
Tidal Power(another form of hydroelectricity)
21
What is the cleanest burning of all fossil fuels,
we use this as an open flame in our homes ?
22
Natural Gas
23
What energy source creates quantities of
radioactive waste that will have to be stored for
thousands of years?
24
Nuclear Fission
25
What fossil fuel does Virginia have a reasonably
large supply of in the Appalachian Plateau?
26
Coal
27
Potential Energy is converted to this when water
allowed to flow over a dam or steam flows through
pipes to drive a generator.
28
Kinetic Energy
29
The uneven heating of the Earth produces this
source of energy which is harnessed using
propeller driven turbines.
30
Wind Power
31
Using available resources more than once to save
resources still in the Earth is called what?
32
Recycling
33
The burning of fossil fuels will cause this to
develop and harm our atmosphere.
34
Air Pollution
35
This energy source has been used by man for
thousands of years and it takes living things to
make energy.
36
Biomass
37
Ultimately, who is responsible for the energy
future of the world?
38
We all are.

• We all are.
