Question

Which of the following best describes a benefit of one type of nonrenewable energy?

Natural gas does not produce greenhouse gases as other energy sources do.
Coal deposits are found on nearly every continent and mining coal poses few risks.
Nuclear power increases water vapor in the atmosphere.
Petroleum is relatively inexpensive compared to other forms of energy.

Answer 1

Petroleum is relatively inexpensive compared to other forms of energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because:

"Natural gas does not produce greenhouse gases as other energy sources do." natural gas does produce greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide and water vapor, the natural gas mostly releases the greenhouse gas.

"Coal deposits are found on nearly every continent and mining coal poses few risks." coal is inexpensive, but could be damaging to the habitats around the coal mining.

"Nuclear power increases water vapor in the atmosphere." nuclear powder doesn't really increase water vapor, but makes water vapor.

"Petroleum is relatively inexpensive compared to other forms of energy." it is inexpensive if compared to other fossil fuels. (aka, the most inexpensive)

Answer 2

" Natural gas does not produce greenhouse gases as other energy sources do."

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer, "Coal deposits are found on nearly every continent and mining coal poses few risks." shows only how it can be a better option, but does not show how it can benefit.

The answer, "Petroleum is relatively inexpensive compared to other forms of energy." only shows how it can be a better option, but does not show how it can benefit.

The answer, "Nuclear power increases water vapor in the atmosphere." does not clearly state how this benefits us.
