In this graph we see the energy consumption from various sources of electricity.  According to the graph which source probably contributes the most greenhouse gases when used?

Natural Gas


200

Definition:

When harmful substances or energy gets into the natural environment.  Example- Trash


Pollution

200

Cutting down forests can cause soil erosion, displace wildlife, and contribute to this world wide effect?  

Hint:  This is causing the temperature of the planet to go up.

The greenhouse effect.

Oil  

Nonrenewable.

300

Riding a bike rather than driving a car and using gas.  

Reduce.

300

Burning what leads to creating the majority of greenhouse gases?

Fossil Fuels

Definition:

Energy sources created from ancient plants and ancient animals under heat and pressure for millions of years.  

Fossil Fuels

What is a benefit of renewable resources over nonrenewable resources?

Renewable resources don't run out.
Renewable resources contribute less carbon emissions.
Nonrenewable resources are found in specific areas and can lead to conflict.

Natural Gas 

Nonrenewable

400

Creating sculptures from trash.  


Recycling 

(The trash was transformed into art)

In this picture, what man made activity is contributing to carbon emissions?

Factory Emissions

400

Definition:

When soil is worn away by wind or water


Soil Erosion

400

Land next to a riverbed is empty.  Each time it rains or floods the soil is carried down stream.  This is causing algae to bloom killing fish and depleting nutrients from the soil near the riverbank.  

What can be done to help preserve the soil next to the river?


Planting trees or plants.

Hydroelectric

Renewable 

500

Introducing carpool lanes to encourage people to ride together and use less gas.  

Reduce

500

What is a way to help slow or stop the greenhouse effect?

Recycling.  Switching to renewable Energy. Protecting forests. Conserving electricity.  Riding a bike instead of driving a car.  

500

What types of types of resources are shown in the diagram below?

Fossil Fuels

500

Definition:

The salt concentration of water.  
Example:  In ocean water, this is high which makes the water undrinkable as is.  


Salinity.
