Non/Renewable Energy
a source of nuclear energy
Atom
the ability to do work or bring about a change and exists in many forms, such as heat, light, chemical energy, and electrical energy
Energy
change in global or regional climate patterns
Climate Change
The number of species' individuals that can be sustained indefinitely in a specific space.
Carrying Capacity
Number of individuals of a population.
Population size
organic matter used as a fuel, especially in a power station for the generation of electricity
Biomass
an electric charge that lets work be accomplished
Electrical energy
the action of clearing a wide area of trees
Deforestation
Study of human populations.
Human Demography
Diagram used to represent population age structure.
Population pyramid
a fuel derived directly from living matter
Biofuel
a measure of input to output of desired energy often represented as a percentage
Energy efficiency
the process of making an area more urban
Urbanization
Fixed rate growth pattern of a population that occurs when few resources are limited. Will appear as a J-shaped growth curve.
Exponential Growth
Number of individuals of the same species in a particular area.
Population density
flammable gas, consisting largely of methane and other hydrocarbons, occurring naturally underground (often in association with petroleum) and used as fuel
Natural gas
is the sum of kinetic and potential energy in an object that is used to do work. In other words, it is energy in an object due to its motion or position, or both
Mechanical Energy
often referred to as summer smog, is the chemical reaction of sunlight, nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds in the atmosphere, which leaves airborne particles and ground-level ozone
Photochemical Smog
The transition from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates as a country develops from a pre-industrial to an industrialized economic system.
Demographic Transition
How individuals are spaced within a population, whether clumped or scattered.
Population dispersion
a liquid mixture of hydrocarbons that can be extracted and refined to produce fuels including gasoline, kerosene, and diesel oil
Petroleum
is the internal energy of an object due to the kinetic energy of its atoms and/or molecules
Thermal Energy
Explain the difference between El Nino and La Nina
El Nino: trade winds weaken or reverse directions, warm water accumulation
La Nina: trade winds are stronger than normal, cold-water accumulation
Explain the difference between Emigration and Immigration
Emigration: migration or movement from a place.
Immigration: migration or movement into a place.
Study of the distribution of a population in different age groups.
