Question

match the fuel sources to the potential impacts they could have on the environment.
if leaked, it can kill a large number of people and cause long - lasting environmental disturbances
must be mined and it destroys animal habitats and forests.
must be placed in areas with little to no trees, so trees are removed during installation which increases the heat levels in the areas they are placed.
must be drilled and removed from inside the earth. ocean locations can cause high amounts of environmental damage if leaked into the environment.
dams must be built that cause high levels of flooding and habitat destruction.
oil coal nuclear hydropower solar power

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze Nuclear

Nuclear fuel, if leaked (like nuclear accidents), can kill many people and cause long - lasting environmental disturbances (radioactive contamination). So "If leaked, it can kill a large number of people and cause long - lasting environmental disturbances" matches Nuclear.

Step2: Analyze Coal

Coal must be mined. Mining coal often destroys animal habitats and forests (through strip mining etc.). So "Must be mined and it destroys animal habitats and forests" matches Coal.

Step3: Analyze Solar power

Solar power installations (solar panels) must be placed in areas with little to no trees (open areas). During installation, trees are removed, which increases heat levels (albedo effect change). So "Must be placed in areas with little to no trees, so trees are removed during installation which increases the heat levels in the areas they are placed" matches Solar power.

Step4: Analyze Oil

Oil must be drilled from inside the earth. If oil leaks in ocean locations (like oil spills), it causes high environmental damage. So "Must be drilled and removed from inside the earth. Ocean locations can cause high amounts of environmental damage if leaked into the environment" matches Oil.

Step5: Analyze Hydropower

Hydropower requires building dams. Dams cause high levels of flooding and habitat destruction (displacing wildlife, changing river ecosystems). So "Dams must be built that cause high levels of flooding and habitat destruction" matches Hydropower.

Answer:

• "If leaked, it can kill a large number of people and cause long - lasting environmental disturbances" - Nuclear
• "Must be mined and it destroys animal habitats and forests" - Coal
• "Must be placed in areas with little to no trees, so trees are removed during installation which increases the heat levels in the areas they are placed" - Solar power
• "Must be drilled and removed from inside the earth. Ocean locations can cause high amounts of environmental damage if leaked into the environment" - Oil
• "Dams must be built that cause high levels of flooding and habitat destruction" - Hydropower
