Multiple Choice. Read each item carefully. Choose the letter of the best answer.

1. Geothermal energy and hydropower are examples of renewable resources

because:

a. they are sourced from nature.

b. they can be replenished within human life span.

c. they can sustain electricity to the community.

d. they never harm the environment.

2. The Philippines is one of the world's top producers of geothermal power. This

is because the country:

a. is abundant in natural gas.

b. is located along the Pacific Ring of Fire.

c. has many rocky and high mountains.

d. has numerous streams and rivers

3. Analogy: Heat pump: 50 – 60 oF; __________ : 300 – 700 oF

a. Dry Steam Plants

b. Flash Steam Plants

c. Binary Cycle Plants

d. All of the above

4. At a geothermal power plant, wells are drilled 1 or 2 miles deep into the Earth.

How does it work?

I. The cooled water is pumped back into the Earth to begin the process again.

(5)

II. When the water reaches the surface, the pressure is dropped, which

causes the water to turn into steam. (2)

III. Hot water is pumped from deep underground through a well under high
pressure. (1)

IV. The steam cools off in a cooling tower and condenses back to water. (4)

V. The steam spins a turbine, which is connected to a generator that produces

electricity. (3)

a. III – II – V – IV – I

b. III – V – II – IV – I

c. III – II – IV – V – I

d. III – IV – II – V – I

5. Which of the following is NOT a geologic indicator for building geothermal

power plant?

I. volcano

II. geyser

III. hot spring

IV. rocky mountain

V. trench

a. I, II, and IV only

b. I, II, and III only

c. I and II only

d. IV and V only

6. Geothermal energy comes from deep inside the earth due to:

a. slow decay of radioactive particles in the earth's core.

b. friction between tectonic plates.

c. rotation of the earth in its axis.

d. absorption of solar energy.

7. The following are uses of geothermal energy EXCEPT:


a. bathing

b. heating

c. milling

d. power generating

8. Which of the following is NOT true about the impact of geothermal energy

resource to the environment?

a. Geothermal power plants do not burn fuel to generate electricity, so the

levels of air pollutants they emit are low.

b. Geothermal features in national parks, such as geysers and fumaroles,

making the site promotes sustainability.

c. Most geothermal power plants inject the geothermal steam and water

that they use back into the earth for recycling purposes.

d. The construction of geothermal power plants destroys natural habitat

disrupting ecological niche.

9. People have a long history of using the force of water flowing in streams and

rivers to produce mechanical energy for

a. milling

b. cutting

c. sewing

d. molding

10. Which of the following are factors in generating hydropower?

IV. Steepness of slope


a. I, II and III only

b. II, III, and IV only

c. I and II only

d. I, II, III and IV

11. Which of the following types of hydropower relies more on the natural water

flow rates, diverting just a portion of river water through turbines, sometimes

without the use of a dam or reservoirs?

a. Impoundment facilities

b. Pumped storage system

c. Run-of-river facilities

d. All of the above

12. Hydropower plants are completely free of greenhouse gas emission. The

statement is:

a. True, because hydropower is a renewable energy resource.

b. True, because power generation is dependent on water cycle only.

c. False, because carbon gas emission occurs during construction.

d. False, because the energy conversion depletes the oxygen content of the

water.

13. Hydropower is largely dependent on

a. Carbon Cycle

b. Nitrogen Cycle

c. Water Cycle

d. Nutrient Cycle

14. Assessing the impact of plants, which of the following is TRUE about

geothermal and hydropower in terms of environmental concerns?

b. Hydropower is more environment friendly than geothermal plant.

c. Both geothermal and hydropower plants are environment friendly.

d. The impact of the power plants to the environment depends on the

situation.

15. Both geothermal and hydropower plants require

a. Turbine

b. Generator

c. Transformer

d. All of the above
