Question

Wind turbines harness mechanical energy from the wind and transform it into energy that can power homes and businesses. Wind power density is a measurement that shows how much wind power is available for an area. Based on the data in the map, what can you conclude about wind power?

A. Geological factors ensure that wind power is distributed evenly across the globe.
B. All continental coastlines have high availability of wind power.
C. Earth’s coldest regions tend to have the highest availability of wind power.
D. The equator has the highest concentration of wind power on Earth

Answer 1

B.All continental coastlines have high availability of wind power

Answer 2

Based on the map data on wind power, all continental coastlines have high availability of wind power.

Step-by-step explanation

Wind is a vital source of renewable energy that can be generated through converting wind currents into other energy forms by harnessing the mechanical energy from the wind and transforming into electric energy using turbine generators. The regions experiencing high winds are coastal regions of continents in mountain regions and high latitudes.
