What are some ways we use natural gas? Why is it Non-renewable?
We use it in some stoves, we use it in lighters, heating the water so we can turn the turbine to give us electricity
It is non-renewable because once it is out in our life time it doesn't come back in our lifetime. |
Name 2 renewable energy resources.
Hydroelectric power
Biomass feuls |
What should electric cars use instead of gasoline?
__________ ____ should electricity instead of gasoline.
|
What is a bad outcome of burning coal or oil?
A bad outcome is pollution.
|
Why are the demands for oil so high? Why are we running low?
The demands are high because we use __ in batteries, cars, lamps, and in many more things.
We are running low because we use so much __ everyday. We burn it a lot and someday it will be gone. |
What is the suns category? What do we use the sun for?
The sun is _______.
We use it for solar power (electricity), heat, light, to survive, etc. |
What is better? Solar energy or oil?
Solar panel (energy) (electricity)
|
What is a good effect of oil?
A good effect of ___ is we get electricity, batteries, heat, etc.
|
If we didn't have plants 360 billion years ago, how would that effect the amount of coal we have today? Would we have coal today?
Yes it would effect the amount of coal today because dead plants get berried over a long period of time and VERY slowly turn into peat (1st stage of coal). No we would not have coal.
|
Water is heated by natural gas to turn the turbine. What turns the turbine?
Water and steam
Steam from the heated water goes up. Steam can push on the ____. |
An manual match is better than electrical lighter. Get a stove with no natural gas so you can conserve it.
Get a Manual match not a electrical ______. Get a stove with no ______ ___.
|
What is the Cause of pollution?
Burning of fossil fuels
(smoke in the air) |
What are some of the reasons people are starting to stop using coal to power trains and use steam engines instead?
1. We are running low
2. It causes pollution 3. Why use coal to get a train going when use can use a better faster steam engine? |
Why are biomass fuels dangerous? Why do we use biomass Fuels?
If not harvested carefully they can release pollution in the air. Carbon Dioxide, etc.
Biomass Fuels can regrow over little time. |
What king of grill is better? Manual or Electrical?
Electrical grill because a _____ grill uses coal and natural gas.
|
What are 2 ways to conserve fossil fuels?
Solar panels can help save ______
Take cold showers |
What are the three types of coal? What is the thing that digs under ground to collect coal? Why is coal non- renewable?
1.Anthracite
2.Bituminous 3.Lignite A shaft Because it is hard to find and get to. And you only have a shaft or another tool, so you might dig deeper and deeper and there might not have been coal in that area all along. |
How is a wind turbine related to a water turbine?
A ____ turbine has steam that rises up in the air to turn the turbine, and a _____ turbine is air blowing on the turbine to turn the turbines. Plus they are both turbines. They both generate electricity.
|
The def. of fossil fuels.
It is Non-Renewable, and we can use them for heat and electricity, etc.
|
Instead of powering trains with coal use a steam engine.
