What is the primary source of energy for wind turbines?

  1. Solar Radiation

  2. Wind

  3. Geothermal Heat

  4. Hydropower


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Wind turbines are powered by the kinetic energy of the wind. As the wind blows, it turns the blades of the turbine, which in turn generates electricity.

How does wind energy benefit forestry?

  1. It reduces the need for fossil fuels, leading to lower greenhouse gas emissions.

  2. It creates jobs and economic opportunities in rural areas.

  3. It helps to maintain healthy forests by reducing the risk of wildfires.

  4. All of the above.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Wind energy provides a number of benefits to forestry, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions, creating jobs and economic opportunities, and helping to maintain healthy forests.

What is the term used to describe the process of converting wind energy into electricity?

  1. Wind Power Generation

  2. Wind Energy Conversion

  3. Wind Turbine Operation

  4. Wind Farm Management


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Wind energy conversion is the process of converting the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy.

Which of the following is not a common type of wind turbine?

  1. Horizontal-Axis Wind Turbine

  2. Vertical-Axis Wind Turbine

  3. Darrieus Wind Turbine

  4. Savonius Wind Turbine


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Darrieus wind turbines are not as common as horizontal-axis wind turbines or vertical-axis wind turbines.

What is the primary factor that determines the amount of electricity generated by a wind turbine?

  1. Wind Speed
