Answer to Column 2 $200 What type of colors absorb solar/light energy the best?

Column 2 Question $200 Dark colors absorb solar/light energy best.

Answer to Column 2 $300 Why do we call wind, hydropower, geothermal, biomass, and solar energy renewable resources?

Column 2 Question $300 They are abundant. They are renewed within a person’s lifetime.

Answer to Column 2 $400 Choose one renewable resource and explain how it is always available. Example: Biomass = available as long as wastes are decomposing.

Column 2 Question $400 Hydropower = Water Cycle Wind Power = Uneven heating and cooling of the Earth. Solar = Sun is always shining Geothermal = Heat from the Earth’s core

Answer to Column 3 $100 What turns the turbine?

Column 3 Question $100 Fossil Fuels, and Geothermal = Steam Hydropower and Wind = flowing water or air

Answer to Column 3 $200 Which resource in most used in Northeast Ohio to create electricity? Why?

Column 3 Question $200 Coal Most abundant in Northeast Ohio.

Answer to Column 3 $300 Explain how electricity is created using Solar Power.

Column 3 Question $300 Sunlight strikes a solar cell, electrons move around, this begins the electric current.

Answer to Column 3 $400 Explain how electricity is created using hydropower.

Column 3 Question $400 The sun causes the water cycle which replenishes the Earth’s water. The water flows (either down stream or down from a water tower) it turns a wheel turbine which spins an electric generator creating electricity that is sent through power lines.
