Fossil Fuels
This fossil fuel is a metamorphic rock that results from the compression and extreme heat over millions of years on dead plant matter from the Carboniferous Period. (Double the points if you can give scientific name)
What is Coal?
What is Anthracite?
This energy technology is used to capture photons and convert it to electric energy
What are photovoltaic cells (double points) or solar energy?
This metabolic process is used by plants and algae to create sugars.
What is photosynthesis?
Humans frequently create the greenhouse gas through combustion of fossil fuels.
What is Carbon Dioxide (CO2)?
These two gases are often exhaled by animals as a bi-product of respiration.
What are Carbon Dioxide and Water Vapor?
This is the amount of energy after you subtract the amount of energy needed to produce the energy from the total amount of energy produced.
_________= Total Energy - Energy to produce
What is Net Energy
This energy technology source is only available during specific weather conditions. This is created by the equalization of atmospheric pressure turning giant turbines.
What are wind turbines?
These are the reactants of photosynthesis. The three things a plant needs to undergo photosynthesis
Water, CO2, Solar Radiation (light)
The greenhouse effect works because the atmosphere lets solar radiation from the sun into the atmosphere, but this type of radiation gets reflected back down to the earth's surface by greenhouse gases.
What is Infrared radiation?
The result of deforestation on atmospheric Carbon. (increase/decrease)
What would increase CO2 in the atmosphere?
This type of energy: energy can be regenerated and used again. An example would be solar, wind, hydro-electric
What is renewable energy?
This transportation technology is better for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This is because the energy can be sourced from renewable energy such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric. In addition they are more efficient and travel further on the same amount of energy.
What are battery electric vehicles?
The metabolic process is done by all living things on earth. It creates ATP which is what cells use to do work.
What is respiration?
This greenhouse gas was outlawed by the Montreal Protocol in 1988. But it wasn't outlawed because of climate concerns. It was outlawed because it was destroying the O-zone layer. This gas is 10,000 times more powerful than CO2 as a greenhouse gas.
What are Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)
This is an example of a carbon reservoir. Dead and Decaying matter that have been converted by geologic processes.
What are fossil fuels?
These types of energy sources frequently produce electricity by creating steam by heating water. The rising and expanding steam then turns a turbine which creates the electricity. (List three)
What are Nuclear, Natural Gas, Coal, Diesel energy.
This energy comes from water stored behind dams passing through turbines to create electricity.
What is hydroelectric power?
Aerobic respiration must have this gas present. This allows respiration to be more efficient and create more ATP? This gas is produced by photosynthesis?
What is O2 gas?
This phenomena is a result of increasing ocean temperatures. Warm water holds less dissolved Carbon Dioxide. So the CO2 leaves the water and makes it way into the atmosphere. This traps more heat, which heats the water, which heats the atmosphere, which heats the water...
What is a positive feedback loop
These sorts of organisms help to remove CO2 from the atmosphere?
What are plants, algaes, and phytoplanktons?
This process helps find natural gas and crude oil in deep layers of shale. This is done by drilling deep into the crust and sending pressurized water and solvents into the layer. This breaks the layers to release the gasses and crude oil.
What is Hydraulic Fracturing (double points) or "Fracking"
This energy technology comes from superheated water in the earth's crust. The water/steam are used to power turbines that create energy.
What is geothermal energy?
These are the three products of Aerobic Respiration.
What are H2O, ATP, CO2?
These are the electromagnetic wave/radiation types listed from lowest energy to highest energy.
What are Radio, Microwave, Infrared, visible light, Ultraviolet, X-Ray, Gamma Radiation?
This is the term that describes how reflective a surface is.
What is albedo?
