Question

select the correct answer. wind turbines harness mechanical energy from the wind and transform it into energy that can power homes and businesses. wind power density is a measurement that shows how much wind power is available for an area. based on the data in the map, what can you conclude about wind power? a. geological factors ensure that wind power is distributed evenly across the globe. b. all continental coastlines have high availability of wind power. c. earths coldest regions tend to have the highest availability of wind power. d. the equator has the highest concentration of wind power on earth.

Explanation:

The map shows that the polar - cold regions have higher wind - power density values compared to other areas. Geological factors do not make wind power evenly distributed (A is wrong). Not all continental coastlines have high wind - power availability (B is wrong). The equator does not have the highest concentration of wind power as shown in the map (D is wrong).

Answer:

C. Earth's coldest regions tend to have the highest availability of wind power.
