IB ESS TOPIC 7 QUESTIONS WITH
|| || || || || ||
CORRECT ANSWERS || ||
Renewable - CORRECT ANSWERS(S)✅✅Natural || || || ||
resources that have a sustainable yield or harvest equal || || || || || || || || ||
to or less than their natural productivity
|| || || || || ||
Non-Renewable - CORRECT ANSWERS(S)✅✅natural || || || ||
resources that cannot be replenished within a timescale || || || || || || || ||
of the same order as that at which they are taken from
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
the environment and used (e.g. fossil fuels)
|| || || || || ||
Fossil fuels - CORRECT ANSWERS(S)✅✅non-renewable
|| || || || ||
resources including oil, coal, natural gas and shale gas || || || || || || || ||
Oil - CORRECT ANSWERS(S)✅✅Advantages
|| || ||
- cheap, versatile raw material
|| || || ||
- easy to transport
|| || ||
- found in geological structures
|| || || ||
- reserves could last for another 40 years with present
|| || || || || || || || || ||
rates of C/P || ||
Disadvantages
, - oil spills
|| ||
- damages coastlines, fish stocks and sea communities
|| || || || || || ||
- finite resource, non-renewable
|| || ||
- burning contributes to global warming through release
|| || || || || || || ||
of CO2 ||
Hydroelectric Power - CORRECT || || || ||
ANSWERS(S)✅✅Advantages:
- renewable, harnesses fast-flowing water with a sufficient
|| || || || || || ||
volume
||
- clean: does not emit greenhouse gases
|| || || || || || ||
- stations are often associated with aluminium smelters to
|| || || || || || || ||
use up excess energy
|| || || || ||
Disadvantages:
- Plants/stations expensive to build
|| || || ||
- few places have a sufficient water
|| || || || || || ||
- plants must run at full capacity to make money
|| || || || || || || || ||
- may affect routes of migratory fish and mammals
|| || || || || || || || ||
- increased evaporation behind the dam and deposition of
|| || || || || || || ||
silt
||
- diseases: schistosomiasis can be spread by the stagnant
|| || || || || || || ||
water
||
|| || || || || ||
