Based on knowledge about hydroelectric power plants and the analysis of the map, assign $$V$$ (true) or $$F$$ (false) to the following statements. ( ) On the map, it is possible to see flooding of large areas upstream of the dam, forming the Itaipu lake; downstream of the Paraná River, the flow is reduced. ( ) The Itaipu power plant was the first project to use Environmental Impact Assessment Reports (EIA-RIMA) to preserve archaeological sites and territories inhabited by riverside populations. ( ) Despite the size of the Itaipu lake, its formation did not generate climatic variability in the region, however, it caused influences on the local microclimate, with an increase in albedo in those areas. ( ) Municipalities involved in the implementation of a hydroelectric power plant receive royalties as financial compensation for the use of the hydraulic potential of rivers. ( ) The suitable relief for the construction of hydroelectric power plants includes plateaus like the one in Foz do Iguaçu, with strong and high-flow rivers. Choose the alternative that contains, from top to bottom, the correct sequence.

One of the current global concerns is the search for renewable energy sources that can replace or complement traditional sources, such as fossil fuels, thus reducing environmental impacts and bringing socio-economic benefits. Considering the importance of renewable energies and the diversity of existing sources, such as solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, and biomass, explain: 1) What are the main benefits and challenges in implementing these energy sources in Brazil? 2) Provide examples of projects that have been developed in the country and 3) Critically evaluate the possible socio-environmental impacts of these projects, considering the way of life of local populations and the commitment to sustainability.

Due to the increasing demand for energy and the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energies are becoming increasingly important in the global energy scenario. Among the renewable energy options presented below, which one is based on solar energy?

What is the importance of renewable energies in reducing the socio-environmental impacts of natural resource exploitation?

A hydroelectric power plant consists of a set formed by a dam, a turbine, and a generator that convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. The exploitation of this energy source has some negative environmental consequences. What are they?
