  1. Nonrenewable Energy Chapter 17

  2. Fossil Fuel • Energy source derived from dead organisms

  3. Nuclear Energy • Energy within the nucleas of an atom

  4. Electric Generator • Converts mechanical energy into electrical energy

  5. Nuclear Reactor • Site of controlled fission reaction

  6. Steam • Used to run a turbine at a power plant

  7. Cost and Efficiency • Factors influencing what fuel source a nation uses

  8. Oil Refinery • Place where petroleum is converted into gasoline

  9. Methane Hydrates • Solid natural gas

  10. Double-Hulling • Construction method to prevent oil spills

  11. New Nuclei and Neutrons • Products of nuclear fission

  12. Solar energy, or energy from the sun, is contained in: • Fossil Fuels

  13. A fossil fuel’s sustainability is dependent on all the following except: • Energy Content • Availability • Cost • Magnetism

  14. Which country consumes the most energy per person? • Canada

  15. Which one of the following states has the most natural coal deposits? • Montana

  16. Coal is formed when: • Swamplands are buried by sediment. Then the added weight creates heat and pressure, which converts the plants to coal

  17. Which of the following is an advantage of using fossil fuels for energy? • The resulting air pollution • Limited quantities • Toxic by-products • Versatility in its uses

  18. Which of the following factors does not help predict future oil production? • Changes in technology • Costs of obtaining fuels • Number of oil deposits discovered • The number of oil refineries operating in the past

  19. During the process of nuclear fission, • A neutron splits a uranium-235 atom, forming new elements and releasing several neutrons plus energy

  20. In a nuclear power plant, • Three pipe circuits pump water through the reactor, turbine, and cooling tower

  21. Which of the following is an advantage of nuclear energy? • It does not produce solid waste • It is cost-efficient • It poses no safety risks • It does not produce air pollution
