Nonrenewable Energy Resources — Quiz

Question 4 • Earth and Space Science

What inference can be made about the relationship between nonrenewable energy resources and global development?

Answer
A
Fuels with the fastest formation time are the most important for economic growth.
B
Fuels with the highest export value tend to have the largest impact on international economies.
C
All nonrenewable resources contribute equally to global trade and development.
D
Peat is the most valuable nonrenewable resource because it is widely distributed.

Explanation

Resources that earn the most from exports tend to have a greater effect on international trade and economic activity. Therefore, fuels with the highest export value are likely to have the largest impact on international economies. Peat’s wide distribution or a fuel’s formation time alone does not show how much it contributes to global development.
