geography amazing energy energy and uses energy and its different forms energy

  1. Petroleum

  2. Coal

  3. Nuclear

  4. Hydro-electricity

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
In India the most important source of energy is Coal.
Coal is the largest source of electricity in India.
Thermal power is the "largest" source of power in India. There are different types of thermal power plants based on the fuel used to generate the steam such as coal, gas, and Diesel, natural gas. About 71% of electricity consumed in India is generated by thermal power plants.

________________  is obtained from the organic waste.

  1. Nuclear energy

  2. Solar energy

  3. Bio-gas

  4. Wind energy

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Bio-gas is obtained from the organic waste.
Organic wastes are often disposed of with other wastes in landfills or incinerators, but since they are biodegradable , some organic wastes are suitable for composting and land application. Organic materials found in municipal solid waste include food, paper, wood, sewage sludge , and yard waste .

Which of the following is not the non-conventional sources of energy in India?

geography amazing energy energy and uses energy and its different forms energy

  1. Solar Energy

  2. Geo-Thermal Energy

  3. Thermal Energy

  4. Tidal Power

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Thermal energy is not the non-conventional source of energy in India.
Thermal energy comes from a substance whose molecules and atoms are vibrating faster due to a rise in temperature. Heat energy is another name for thermal energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of a moving object. As thermal energy comes from moving particles, it is a form of kinetic energy.

The gas produced by decaying agricultural waste, plant residues, animal dung etc. in the absence of air, is called _____________.

  1. carbon di oxide

  2. bio gas

  3. nitrogen

  4. ozone gas

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The gas produced by decaying agricultural waste, plant residues, animal dung etc. in the absence of air, is called Biogas.

Biogas is the mixture of gases produced by the breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen. Biogas can be produced from raw materials such as agricultural waste, manure, municipal waste, plant material, sewage, green waste or food waste. Biogas is a renewable energy source.

 The energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion is called _______________.

geography amazing energy energy and uses energy and its different forms energy

  1. potential energy

  2. muscular energy

  3. mechanical energy

  4. kinetic energy

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion is called Kinetic energy.
Kinetic energy is the type of energy, which a body possesses by the property of being in the motion. The potential energy is the type of energy, which a body possesses by virtue of its position is known as the potential energy.

 The energy available from bio gas can be converted into  ______.

geography amazing energy energy and uses energy and its different forms energy

  1. heat

  2. light

  3. electricity

  4. sound

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Theoretically, biogas can be converted directly into electricity by using a fuel cell. However, this process requires very clean gas and expensive fuel cells. In most cases, biogas is used as fuel for combustion engines, which convert it to mechanical energy, powering an electric generator to produce electricity.

Correct Option: B
Explanation:

India conducted its first nuclear explosion at Pokharan.
Smiling Buddha (MEA designation: Pokhran-I) was the assigned code name of India's first successful nuclear bomb test on 18 May 1974. The bomb was detonated on the army base, Pokhran Test Range (PTR), in Rajasthan by the Indian Army under the supervision of several key Indian generals.

_________ is located in the Parvati valley near Manikarn in Himachal Pradesh.

geography amazing energy energy and uses energy and its different forms energy

  1. Tidal energy plant

  2. Solar energy plant

  3. Geothermal energy plant

  4. Atomic energy plant

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Geothermal energy plant is located in the Parvati valley near Manikarn in Himachal Pradesh.
Geothermal power plant (flash steam, combined cycle) in Iceland. Geothermal power plants are used in order to generate electricity by the use of geothermal energy (the Earth's internal thermal energy). They essentially work the same as a coal or nuclear power plant, the main difference being the heat source.
