  8. Oil is formed from _____________ that died millions of years ago. • A. plankton • B. swamp plants • C. dinosaurs • D. rainforest animals 7

  9. When did/does the United States reach its peak oil production? • A. 1950 • B. 1970 • C. 1990 • D. 2010 8

  10. When did/does the world reach peak oil production? • A. 1910 • B. 1950 • C. 2010 • D. 2050 9

  11. Biogenic gas differs from thermogenic gas because biogenic gas is made from ____. • A. dead plants • B. dead plankton • C. bacteria • D. cows 10

  12. In which of the following places would you NOT find biogenic natural gas…or methane? • A. swamps • B. landfills • C. sewage facilities • D. farms • E. rice paddies • F. flower shop 11

  13. What other fossil fuel is thermogenic gas formed with? • A. coal • B. oil • C. biogenic gas • D. ethanol 12

  14. Which of the following is FALSE? • A. methane is the cleanest fossil fuel • B. thermogenic gas is renewable • C. biogenic gas can be used to burn electricity • D. thermogenic gas is made the same way as oil 13

  15. Which of the following is NOT an impact of using fossil fuels? • A. Acid Drainage in rivers near mines • B. Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico • C. Installing solar panels on skyscrapers • D. Global air pollution and climate change • E. Habitat Destruction 14

  16. Which of the following is NOT a renewable resource: • A. Biogenic methane • B. Solar power • C. Geothermal Energy • D. Deforestation • E. Oil 15

  17. BIODIESEL Less air pollution and fossil fuels needed You can make it at home or purchase from restaurants Usually only supports diesel-run vehicles Does not run well in cold weather B20: 20% vegetable oil 80% diesel ETHANOL Could potentially create high demands for corn Not widely available Does not run well in cold weather Flex fuel cars run on fermented corn E85: 85% ethanol and 15% oil Renewable. Less gas emissions. HYDROGEN No air pollution released Only emission is water vapor Would require new fueling stations Explosive Expensive Cars are not widely available Fuel cells use hydrogen. HYDROELECTRIC • Running water is needed • Dams are needed • -Habitat destruction • -Expensive Moving water turns turbines that generate electricity No pollution is produced. Electricity is made! SOLAR Converts sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic cells Installation is expensive Sunlight is needed No pollution is produced. Electricity is made! WIND Lots of space and wind is needed Installation is costly and causes habitat destruction Wind turbines convert wind energy into electricity No pollution is produced. Electricity is made! GEOTHERMAL Earth’s natural heat “heats up” water into steam OR Earth’s steam moves a turbine that generates electricity No AIR pollution is produced. Electricity is made! Habitat Destruction Water Pollution Expensive Splitting of atoms creates heat that then “heats up” water into steam that turns turbines to generate electricity NUCLEAR Radioactive waste is created and needs to be stored away Accidents have and could cause major fatalities No AIR pollution is produced. Electricity is made!
