Welcome to The Energy Planet's wind power quiz. We wish you good luck in picking the right answer out of the four given ones. Have Fun.

01: Why must a wind power generator be higher than 20 feet and away from obstacles?
A wind power generator must be over 20 feet so that leaves and grass do not blow into the turbine.
Wind power generators need to be higher than 20 feet and clear from obstacles so that the get the best, strongest wind. An entire profession, called being a wind prospector finds the best places to put a wind generator.
Wind power generators must be higher than 20 feet because the wind closer to the land contains pollutants, which can damage the delicate inner workings of the generator.
Wind power generators do not need to be 20 feet high, it is just done so that it looks nice.
02: Why isn't wind power generation popular?
Wind power generation is unreliable and noisy! Many people prefer to have a quiet and reliable form of electricity, like nuclear power.
There simply isn't enough wind on earth to make it an economically sound investment.
Wind power generation takes all of the wind away from earth, and it can cause ecological chaos.
Some wind rights groups do not approve of the wind being harnessed as a form of energy.
03: Where does wind come from?
Wind was created when the earth was formed, and has been circulating around the earth ever since.
Wind is generated from the flapping of bird's wings, and even insect wings. Because of the numerous flying animals, tiny wind currents merge together into a larger entity known as wind.
Wind is generated waves and swells in the ocean. A large wave pushes another wave of air in front of it. This wave of air is known as wind.
Wind comes from a huge convection current, created from the sun. The sun heats the land or ocean. The land or ocean heats the air above it, causing it to rise. The rising air leaves a void that is filled by cooler air. This cycle continues, and is the source of wind.
