Which best describes a similarity between power plants that use water as an energy source and those that use wind as an energy source?

a. both use heat from within earth to produce electricity.
b. both use kinetic energy to produce electricity.
c. both use resources that are not abundant.
d. both use resources that produce a lot of air pollution.

The correct answer to the question is : B) Both use kinetic energy to produce electricity.

EXPLANATION:

Hydroelectricity is produced when the kinetic energy of the falling water rotates the turbine. The generator associated with the turbine is rotated, and electric energy is produced due to electric magnetic induction.

In case of power plants in which wind is used as energy source, the same process happens. The kinetic energy of wind rotates the propellers of wind turbine which in turn produces electric energy.

Hence, the correct similarity between them is statement B.

answer: the exterior temperature of commercial jet planes as they leave the stratosphere and return to the ground increases steadily.

explanation:

the lower most layer of atmosphere is troposphere which extends from 0 to 12 km above the surface of the earth. the temperature initially decreases as distance is increased from the earth's surface. commercial jets fly in lower part of the stratosphere. the stratosphere extends upto 50 km. the temperature in stratosphere starts rising again due to presence of ozone which traps the uv rays.

thus, when the planes leave the stratosphere and return to the ground, the exterior temperature increases steadily.
