Q1 :-Which of these is a renewable source of energy?

Solar energy

Hydel energy

Wind energy

All of these

Q2 :-Acid rain happens because

Sun heats up the upper layer of the atmosphere

Burning of fossil fuels releases oxides of carbon, nitrogen and sulphur in the atmosphere

Electrical charges are produced due to friction amongst clouds

Earth atmosphere contains acids

Q4 :-In a hydro power plant

Potential energy possessed by stored water is converted into electricity

Kinetic energy possessed by stored water is converted into potential energy

Electricity is extracted from water

Water is converted into steam to produce electricity

Q7 :-The power generated in a windmill

Is more in rainy season since damp air would mean more air mass hitting the blades

Depends on the height of the tower

Depends on wind velocity

Can be increased by planting tall trees close to the tower

Q8 :-Choose the incorrect statement.

We are encouraged to plant more trees so as to ensure clean environment and also provide biomass fuel.

Gobar gas is produced when crops, vegetable wastes, etc., decompose in the absence of oxygen.

The main ingredient of biogas is ethane and it gives a lot of smoke and also produces a lot of residual ash.

Biomass is a renewable source of energy.

Q9 :-Choose the correct statement.

Sun is considered as an inexhaustible source of energy

There is infinite storage of fossil fuel inside the Earth
