Which of the following is NOT a type of polar renewable energy?

  1. Solar energy

  2. Wind energy

  3. Hydropower

  4. Geothermal energy


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Solar energy is not a type of polar renewable energy because it is not generated in the polar regions.

What is the primary source of wind energy in the polar regions?

  1. The jet stream

  2. The polar vortex

  3. The Coriolis effect

  4. The Earth's rotation


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The jet stream is a narrow band of high-altitude winds that flows from west to east around the globe. It is the primary source of wind energy in the polar regions.

Which of the following is NOT a type of ice that can be used to generate renewable energy?

  1. Sea ice

  2. Glacier ice

  3. Icebergs

  4. Permafrost


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Permafrost is not a type of ice that can be used to generate renewable energy because it is not a moving body of ice.

What is the main challenge associated with harnessing wind energy in the polar regions?

  1. The cold temperatures

  2. The high winds

  3. The lack of infrastructure

  4. The remoteness of the regions


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The remoteness of the polar regions makes it difficult to transport wind turbines and other equipment to these areas.

Which country is a leader in the development of polar renewable energy?
