1. When humans generate electricity using the heat of the Earth,
what energy is this?
A. Geothermal Energy C. Radiation Energy
B. Hydroelectric Energy D. Solar Energy
2. What is a generator?
A. A machine that creates radiation.
B. A machine that turns mechanical into electrical energy.
C. A type of wind energy
D. A type of heating engine
3. Which of the following is one of the disadvantages of
geothermal energy?
A. Geothermal energy only works on windy days.
B. Geothermal energy doesn't work everywhere since you need a
volcano nearby.
C. Geothermal does not work if there are no rivers or moving water
nearby.
D. Geothermal energy does not work if there is no sunlight available.
4. How does a Geothermal Power Plant work?
I. When the water reaches the surface, the pressure is dropped,
which causes the water to turn into steam.
II. The cooled water is pumped back into the Earth by the injection
well to begin the process again.
III. The steam cools off in a cooling tower and condenses back to
water
IV. Hot water is pumped from deep underground through a well
under high pressure.
V. When the water reaches the surface, the pressure is dropped,
which causes the water to turn into steam.
A. I, II, III, IV, V C. IV, I, V, III, II
B. II, V, IV, I, II D. V, IV, III, II, I
5. In the recent past, humans have been looking for and trying
out alternative sources of renewable energy to reduce
dependence on fossil fuels. How can the energy from volcanoes
be tapped for human use?
A. The lava can be used for cooking.
B. The energy from the magma can be used to heat water.
C. Geothermal energy can be used to generate electricity.
D. Geothermal energy can be tapped to produce steam used for
heating showers.
