Misc. Facts
100
This gas is often abbreviated to H2O.
What is water?
100
This is the result of the expulsion of environmentally harmful substances.
What is pollution?
100
This means the earth heats up and makes it less habitable.
What are high temperatures?
100
This is the form of electrical energy that we can get from the sun.
What is solar power?
100
The reason for this is because it is very expensive.
Why is green energy not often used?
200
This is often abbreviated to CH4.
What is methane?
200
This sends large amounts of greenhouse gasses when there is tectonic activity nearby.
What is a volcano?
200
This is caused by an increase in polar temperatures.
What are melting ice caps?
200
This is the renewable energy that we get from the convection in Earth's atmosphere.
What is wind energy?
200
Over time these are created by large amounts of pressure on organic materials.
How are fossil fuels formed?
300
This is often abbreviated to CO2.
What is carbon dioxide?
300
These substances produce large amounts of carbon dioxide when burned.
What are fossil fuels?
300
This is the result of polar ice caps melting and draining into the ocean.
What are rising sea levels?
300
This energy is what we get from the Moon's gravitational pull on the oceans.
What is tidal power?
300
They are methane, carbon dioxide,and water vapor.
What are the three main greenhouse gasses?
400
This is often abbreviated to O3.
What is ozone?
400
These come in spray cans and send large amounts of chlorofluorocarbons into the atmosphere.
What are aerosols?
400
Examples of these are hurricanes, droughts, and floods.
What are severe weather patterns?
400
This energy we get from rivers, but we need to make fish ladders to let the fish through.
What is hydroelectric power?
400
This type of energy leaves a very small carbon footprint but has environmental problems of its own.
What is nuclear power?
500
These are often abbreviated to CFCs.
What are chlorofluorocarbons?
500
This is a fuel composed mostly of methane and when burned gives of little more than carbon dioxide and water vapor.
What is natural gas?
500
This occurs when the template rises so high that animals cannot survive.
What is habitat destruction?
500
This power we get from pumping water deep into the Earth's crust and putting the resulting steam in turbines.
What is geothermal power?
500
It is created by ultraviolet light hitting oxygen molecules.
