Which renewable energy source has the least environmental impact?

  1. Solar

  2. Wind

  3. Hydropower

  4. Geothermal


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Geothermal energy has the least environmental impact because it does not produce greenhouse gases or air pollution, and it does not require the use of land or water.

What is the primary environmental impact of solar energy?

  1. Greenhouse gas emissions

  2. Water pollution

  3. Land use

  4. Noise pollution


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The primary environmental impact of solar energy is land use, as large amounts of land are required to install solar panels.

Which renewable energy source has the greatest potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions?

  1. Solar

  2. Wind

  3. Hydropower

  4. Geothermal


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Solar energy has the greatest potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions because it can be used to generate electricity without emitting any greenhouse gases.

What is the primary environmental impact of wind energy?

  1. Greenhouse gas emissions

  2. Water pollution

  3. Land use

  4. Noise pollution


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The primary environmental impact of wind energy is noise pollution, as wind turbines can generate noise that can be disturbing to nearby residents.

Which renewable energy source is most reliable?

  1. Solar

  2. Wind

  3. Hydropower

  4. Geothermal


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Hydropower is the most reliable renewable energy source because it is not affected by weather conditions and can generate electricity 24 hours a day.

What is the primary environmental impact of hydropower?

  1. Greenhouse gas emissions

  2. Water pollution

  3. Land use

  4. Noise pollution


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The primary environmental impact of hydropower is land use, as dams and reservoirs can flood large areas of land.

Which renewable energy source is most cost-effective?

  1. Solar

  2. Wind

  3. Hydropower

  4. Geothermal


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Solar energy is the most cost-effective renewable energy source, as the cost of solar panels has decreased significantly in recent years.

What is the primary environmental impact of geothermal energy?

  1. Greenhouse gas emissions

  2. Water pollution

  3. Land use

  4. Noise pollution


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The primary environmental impact of geothermal energy is water pollution, as geothermal power plants can release harmful chemicals into the environment.

Which renewable energy source is most sustainable?

  1. Solar

  2. Wind

  3. Hydropower

  4. Geothermal


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Geothermal energy is the most sustainable renewable energy source because it does not produce greenhouse gases or air pollution, and it does not require the use of land or water.

What is the primary environmental impact of biomass energy?

  1. Greenhouse gas emissions

  2. Water pollution

  3. Land use

  4. Noise pollution


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The primary environmental impact of biomass energy is greenhouse gas emissions, as biomass power plants emit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

Which renewable energy source is most widely used?

  1. Solar

  2. Wind

  3. Hydropower

  4. Geothermal


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Hydropower is the most widely used renewable energy source, as it is used in many countries around the world to generate electricity.

What is the primary environmental impact of tidal energy?

  1. Greenhouse gas emissions

  2. Water pollution

  3. Land use

  4. Noise pollution


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The primary environmental impact of tidal energy is land use, as tidal power plants require large amounts of land to be built.

Which renewable energy source is most predictable?

  1. Solar

  2. Wind

  3. Hydropower

  4. Geothermal


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Hydropower is the most predictable renewable energy source because it is not affected by weather conditions and can generate electricity 24 hours a day.

What is the primary environmental impact of wave energy?

  1. Greenhouse gas emissions

  2. Water pollution

  3. Land use

  4. Noise pollution


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The primary environmental impact of wave energy is noise pollution, as wave power plants can generate noise that can be disturbing to marine life.

Which renewable energy source is most promising for the future?

  1. Solar

  2. Wind

  3. Hydropower

  4. Geothermal


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Solar energy is the most promising renewable energy source for the future, as it has the greatest potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and is becoming increasingly cost-effective.
