According to this world map of potential renewable energy, what can you infer about the potential of biomass energy compared to hydroelectricity in north america?
a. the potential for biomass energy is slightly greater than hydroelectricity
b. the potential for hydroelectricity and biomass are the same
c. there is not enough data available to answer this question
d. the potential for hydroelectricity is greater than biomass energy

According to world map of potential renewable energy, the potential for biomass energy is slightly greater than hydroelectricity North America.

Option A

Explanation:

The potential for biomass energy is slightly greater than hydroelectricity. This is mainly because of the fact that for the generation of hydroelectricity, several dams need to be constructed. In North America, there is not enough place for the construction of dams.

Dams require a lot of place for construction and in North America, there are only a few places where construction of dams is feasible. For biomass, the energy units are small in size and can be easily constructed. This is why biomass energy plants can be installed in any place where biomass is available or can be made available.
