Methane is pumped from a deep sedimentary reservoir where it formed from buried organic matter over millions of years. How is this fuel classified?
A power plant uses uranium ore mined from bedrock, splits atoms in a reactor, and heats water to run a steam turbine. How is uranium classified?
A dam releases river water through a penstock so the moving water spins a turbine. Which renewable resource is being converted?
A remote weather station powers its instruments with photovoltaic cells that make electricity when sunlight reaches them. Which resource is being used?
A school boiler burns wood pellets made from trees that are replanted and harvested on a managed rotation. How is this energy source classified?
A refinery makes diesel from crude oil pumped from a petroleum reserve. Which classification best fits the crude oil?
A plant drills wells into hot, permeable rock and brings heated water to the surface to make steam. Which renewable resource is it using?
The image shows a generating site with tall three-bladed machines turning in moving air. Which energy resource does the installation convert?
The image shows dark rectangular panels mounted on a roof and wired to an inverter. Which resource does this installation convert?
The image shows a concrete dam, a reservoir, and water passing through turbine intakes. Which resource is being converted to electricity?
The image shows insulated pipes, wellheads, and white vapor rising from a volcanic field near a turbine hall. Which resource does the plant use?
The image shows a wood-chip pile feeding a furnace building that makes steam for a generator. Which energy resource is being used?
The image shows a reactor dome and cooling towers beside a river. Which nonrenewable resource does this generating station use?
The image shows black fuel piles and a conveyor belt entering a boiler house with a smokestack. Which energy resource is being burned?

Use the hydropower potential graph. Which river site should engineers study first for a new small hydroelectric project?
A site has shallow hot groundwater, fractured permeable bedrock, and rock temperatures that rise quickly with depth. Which energy resource fits those conditions?
Use the tidal-range bar graph. Which bay is best for a tidal barrage?
A county has sawmills and crop residues close to a steam plant. Which renewable resource depends on that nearby fuel supply?
An energy-storage project needs an upper and lower reservoir separated by steep relief. Which technology depends on that landscape?
Use the ocean-temperature table. Which site has the best condition for ocean thermal energy conversion?
Use the solar-output graph. What grid limitation should the town plan around?
Use the wind-output graph. What limitation of wind power does the pattern show?
