    Where is the best place for wind turbines?

    • In the city

    • Wind farms that are away from the city

    • Hot islands

    • At the beach

    Correct Answer
    A. Wind farms that are away from the city
    Explanation
    Wind farms that are away from the city are the best place for wind turbines because they are located in open areas with strong and consistent wind currents. Being away from the city reduces the potential for obstructions such as tall buildings and trees, allowing the turbines to capture more wind energy. Additionally, wind farms in rural areas have less noise and visual impact on the local population.

    How fast do wind turbines blow per hour?

    • 200 km per hour

    • 1 mile per hour

    • 14 miles per hour

    • 22 km per hour

    Correct Answer
    A. 14 miles per hour
    Explanation
    Wind turbines do not blow, they generate electricity by harnessing the power of wind. The speed at which wind turbines rotate depends on the wind speed, but it is not measured in terms of blowing per hour. Therefore, the given question is not clear and does not have a correct answer.
