Which of the following statements is true? hydroelectric power plants do not impact the environment. fossil fuels take millions of years to form. most of the world's population lives in industrial areas. since 1940, the production of electricity in the u. s. has not increased.

Fossil fuels take millons of years to form

Explanation:

Fossil fuels are organic compounds derived from carbon. They come from the slow decomposition of the organic matter that inhabited the planet millions of years ago, such as animals and plants.

This process takes millions of years, and that is why they are cataloged as non-renewable fuels.

The other answers are incorrect because hydroelectric plants generally produce noise, which is cataloged as a negative environmental impact.

It cannot be assured that the majority of the world's population lives in industrial areas. And finally, the production of electricity in the U.S. cannot have remained constant since 1940 due to the constant growth of its population.
