The use of nuclear energy can have both positive and negative consequences. which of the following is a positive consequence of using nuclear energy? a. nuclear energy uses nonrenewable resources. b. nuclear energy produces little air pollution. c. uranium ore used for nuclear power plants must be mined and processed. d. nuclear energy has no environmental impact.

b.

Nuclear energy produces little air pollution.

Explanation:

Nuclear energy is the energy which is obtain from the nucleus of an atom. It can be obtain by continuous and simultaneous fission and fusion reactions. The energy is produced in the form of thermal energy. The heavy metal atom is bombarded with radiation to cause either fusion or fission. The thermal energy produced is used for the purpose of generation of electricity.

This kind of energy generation takes place in a controlled condition. As if the radiations generated in the process and the thermal energy can cause damage to the surrounding environment if get leaked. As the thermal energy and the gases produced does not release into the surrounding environment. Hence, this type of energy produces little air pollution.

the correct answer is 4) heat and pressure

metamorphic rocks arise from transformation of existing rocks types, in a process called metamorphism. during metamorphism the original rock(prolith) change into metamorphic rock by heating (150-200c) and pressure of more than 1000 bar. the original rock can be sedimentary, igneous, or existing metamorphic rock.
