What is geothermal energy?
Energy created by pressure and heat underneath the earth's crust is known as...
|
What is a scrubber?
What part of a power plant reduces the amount of harmful gases sent into the air?
|
|
What is oxygen?
During combustion fuel combines with __________ to make a chemical change.
|
What are coal, petroleum, and natural gas?
The three main fossil fuels are:
|
What is TRUE?
T/F solar cells can store electricity for immediate and later use
|
What is because during energy production certain pollutants can be released that can poison land, water, and air?
Why do some emissions have a harmful impact on the environment?
|
|
What is turbine?
Steam flows through a ____________ which spins as the gas flows and changes the heat energy of the steam into kinetic energy
|
What is petroleum?
Gasoline and Diesel come from _____________ which is a liquid fossil fuel formed from the decay of ancient plants and animals
|
What are: biomass, solar energy, wind energy, geothermal, hydropower?
Name three different types of renewable energy:
|
What is they allow to trap more heat in the atmosphere causing climate change?
How do greenhouse gases affect our atmosphere?
|
|
What is the generator?
What is the device that changes energy of motion into electrical energy? yada yada, yada, yada turn the ___
|
What is because they have to be stored in very high pressures and spheres are strong?
Why is natural gas usually stored in spheres?
|
What is because less than 1% of the sun's energy make sit into biofuel, we would need a lot of land to grow biofuel?
Why is biofuel considered an inefficient way to store energy?
|
What are: breaking of roads, mining can cause loss of habitat, dams damage stream habitats, fossil fuel combustion pollutes atmosphere, acid rain, greenhouse gases?
Name three different ways the use of energy damages ecosystems:
|
|
What is solar energy, the sun sends photons down that hit a solar panel cell, electrons then bounce off and get collected through a wire and changed to electricity?
Most types of energy use generators to work with the exception of__________ which works by:
|
What is uranium atoms are split apart to produce heat energy which then makes steam to drive a turbine and generator?
How is uranium used to create nuclear fuel?
|
What is because we already have built infrastructure for petroleum and its more expensive to have renewable sources in most cases. We also have certain energy sources such as biomass that don't give us as much as we need?
If renewable energy is "better" why do we continue to use more nonrenewable sources?
|
What are large pipes that transport natural gas and crude oil can leak and create oil spills, oil spills can also happen in the middle of the ocean when being shipped?
What are the impacts of transporting fuels?
