Question

Which of the following best describes a benefit of one type of nonrenewable energy? Petroleum can be found nearly anywhere and is easily extracted. Natural gas does not produce greenhouse gases as other energy sources do. Coal is relatively inexpensive compared to other forms of energy. Nuclear power increases water vapor in the atmosphere.

Answer 1

The earth has many energy sources present on its surface and beneath the surface but they are not unlimited. They are of non renewable nature and have to be used accordingly without wasting.

renewable resource

• The natural gas does not produces greenhouse gases  like other energy resources and can be stated as a benefit.

• Petroleum cannot be found everywhere and is relatively very expensive so it is definitely not a benefit.

• Coal is inexpensive but it emits various gases which increases the global warming so it is not a benefit.

• Nuclear power release water vapor and results in increased temperature in the environment which is also not a benefit.

Therefore the example that best describes a benefit of one type of nonrenewable energy is "Natural gas does not produce greenhouse gases as other energy sources do" and OPTION B is correct.

Answer 2

Answer:

C: Coal is relatively inexpensive compared to other forms of energy.

Explanation:

First let's use process of elimination

Look at the question again "Which of the following best describes a benefit of one type of nonrenewable energy?"

I underlined the important words in the question

Now we know we are looking for a benefit for nonrenewable energy

Let's look at the first answer choice

Petroleum can be found nearly anywhere and is easily extracted.

Well, this seems like an okay answer, but it really doesn't say anything about creating energy it is just a benieft

Now let's look at the second answer choice "Natural gas does not produce greenhouse gases as other energy sources do."

natural gasses do create so much greenhouse gasses. For example, natural gas like fossil fuel emissions and the burning of coal create so much pollution so this is false it definitely gives off greenhouse gases

Now let's look at the third answer choice "Coal is relatively inexpensive compared to other forms of energy."

This gives a benieft but it also talks about energy therefore this seems like the best answer so far

Now let's look at the final answer "Nuclear power increases water vapor in the atmosphere."

This does not give a benieft it gives it the opposite; water vapor is one of the main things that helps created pollution therefore this could not be the answer

Now it is down to A or C

C is more detailed and talks about a benieft and talks about energy so imma say it that one

Hope I helped have a great day :)
