A fossil fuel’s sustainability is dependent on all the following except:
Energy Content Availability Cost
Magnetism
Coal is formed when:
Swamplands are buried by sediment. Then the added weight creates heat and pressure, which converts the plants to coal
Which of the following is an advantage of using fossil fuels for energy?
The resulting air pollution Limited quantities Toxic by-products
Versatility in its uses
Which of the following factors does not help predict future oil production?
Changes in technology Costs of obtaining fuels Number of oil deposits discovered
The number of oil refineries operating in the past
During the process of nuclear fission,
A neutron splits a uranium-235 atom, forming new elements and releasing several neutrons plus energy
In a nuclear power plant,
