- Q1What is a major advantage of geothermal energy?High greenhouse gas emissionsDependence on fossil fuelsRenewable and sustainableLarge land footprint30sSC9.E.1
- Q2How does geothermal energy impact the environment compared to fossil fuels?It has no environmental impactIt has the same emissionsIt has lower emissionsIt has higher emissions30s
- Q3Which of the following best describes the reliability of geothermal energy?Highly intermittentConsistent and not dependent on weatherDependent on solar conditionsUnreliable and unpredictable30s
- Q4Compared to other energy sources, what is the typical land footprint of a geothermal plant?Very smallVariableVery largeModerate30s
- Q5What is a significant disadvantage of geothermal energy in terms of location?It is geographically limitedIt is available at any depthIt is available everywhereIt is cheap to transport30s
- Q6What is a major financial challenge associated with geothermal energy development?Low maintenance costLow exploration costsHigh initial cost for drilling and constructionLow initial cost30s
- Q7What is "induced seismicity" related to geothermal energy?Earthquakes caused by weatherEarthquakes caused by volcanic eruptionsEarthquakes caused by Enhanced Geothermal SystemsEarthquakes caused by tectonic plates30s
- Q8Which gas is released in small quantities from some geothermal plants?Hydrogen sulfideOxygenCarbon dioxideNitrogen30s
- Q9Which of these is a disadvantage associated with geothermal energy?Potential for induced seismicityHigh fuel costsUnreliable supplyLarge land requirements30s
- Q10What is the overall current status of geothermal energy potential in Thailand?Highly developed and widely usedNon-existentGeothermal is the primary source of energyHas some potential but not yet widely used30s
- Q11What is a potential future development for geothermal energy in Thailand?A reduced use of geothermal resourcesIncreased reliance on fossil fuelsWidespread use of geothermal energyLack of government investment30s
- Q12Which of the following best describes the initial cost of setting up a geothermal power plant?Low initial costModerate initial costVery high initial costNo initial costs30s
- Q13Based on the lecture notes, if a country has limited geological areas suitable for traditional hydrothermal geothermal, but has significant regions of hot, dry rocks, what recommendation would you give about developing geothermal energy?Only use Geopressured Resources because they are more efficient.Abandon geothermal because traditional methods are the only option.Do not invest because of risks of seismicity.Prioritize Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) technologies.30s
- Q14Considering the initial costs of geothermal plants, which long term factors should a government take into account when deciding to invest in a geothermal project?How many solar panels a geothermal plant can replaceShort term economic benefits onlyOnly look at the cost of the construction of the plantEnvironmental and long-term benefits of stable energy supply, while lowering costs of fossil fuels30s
- Q15A geothermal plant has a capacity of 100MW. However, during the year it only manages to operate at an average capacity of 70MW due to seasonal variations of underground water flow. What long term strategy is advisable?Install battery storage systems.Reduce the capacity of the plant to make it more efficient.Investigate the causes for the reduced capacityInvest in a plant with a consistent source of geothermal resources30s
