B)
Volcano
C)
Ozone gas
D)
Rivers

Correct Answer :   Volcano

Volcanoes are known as the safety valves of nature because they periodically release the pressure that builds up because of tectonic activity in the Earth's crust and even lower layers.

A)
Coal, Natural Gas and Petroleum
B)
Coal and Natural Gas only
C)
Coal only
D)
None of the above

Correct Answer :   Coal, Natural Gas and Petroleum

Traditional thermal power plants: also called combustion power plants, they operate with energy produced by a steam boiler fueled by coal, natural gas, heating oil, as well as by biomass. The steam activates a turbine which, in turn, drives an alternator to produce electricity.

D)
Electrical Resistance

Correct Answer :   Electrical Resistance

Ohmmeter, instrument for measuring electrical resistance, which is expressed in ohms. In the simplest ohmmeters, the resistance to be measured may be connected to the instrument in parallel or in series. If in parallel (parallel ohmmeter), the instrument will draw more current as resistance increases.

A)
Alkaline
B)
Acidic
C)
Pure Water
D)
None of the above
