What is renewable energy?

Renewable energy uses energy sources that are not "used up`"

Where is the largest supply of fresh water found? 


The largest supply of fresh water is found in the form of ice and snow in glaciers and polar ice caps.

what is a sea breeze?

Warm air rise above the land;cool air moves from water to land.

What is conduction?

The transfer of energy by way of direct contact

why is renewable energy important?

Much of the world relies on non-renewable energy to heat their homes,power their electronics devices,and power their cars.Once these energy sources are used up,they will be gone forever.Developing technologies that can efficiently use renewable energy sources is critical to our future.

How does groundwater flow?

  • Groundwater flows through underground layers of permeable rock and soil, eventually returning to the surface through springs or rivers.

what is a land breeze?

Warm air rises above the water;cool air moves from land to water.

What is convection?

The transfer of energy by motion of a gas or liquid.

Why are the 3Rs important?


Resource Conservation:.The 3Rs help conserve natural resources by reducing the need for new raw materials.


Environmental Protection:.Opens in new tabThey minimize pollution and protect ecosystems by reducing waste that ends up in landfills and incinerators.

Energy Savings:.Opens in new tabReducing, reusing, and recycling can save energy used in manufacturing new products.

 What are the different types of renewable energy? 




  • Solar: Harnesses the sun's energy through photovoltaic (PV) panels or concentrated solar power (CSP). 



    Wind: Uses wind turbines to convert kinetic energy into electricity.

    Hydroelectric: Generates electricity from the flow of water in rivers and dams.

    Geothermal: Utilizes heat from the earth's interior to generate electricity or heat.

  • Biomass: Uses organic matter (plants, waste) to produce energy.

How does the sun play a role in the water cycle?

  • The sun's heat is the primary driver of evaporation, causing water to turn into vapor and rise into the atmosphere.

what are trade winds?

Trade winds blow from the horse latitudes to the equator.

300

What is radiation?

Radiation is the transfer of energy by waves.

what does reuse mean?

To use something more than once

. How can I use renewable energy?


Rooftop solar panels: Install solar panels on your roof to generate electricity for your home. 



Community solar: Participate in a community solar project to receive electricity generated from a large solar farm.

Green energy providers: Choose an energy supplier that uses renewable energy sources to power your home or business.

Electric vehicles: Drive an electric vehicle (EV), which can be powered by renewable energy.

400

What is the water cycle?

the cycle of processes by which water circulates between the earth's oceans, atmosphere, and land, involving precipitation as rain and snow, drainage in streams and rivers, and return to the atmosphere by evaporation and transpiration.

what is the westerlies?

Westerlies blow from the horse latitude toward the poles

What is Heat?


Definition: Heat is a form of energy associated with the random motion of atoms and molecules within a substance.

what does reduce mean?

To cut down on the amount of waste

What are the key benefits of using renewable energy? 


It reduces reliance on fossil fuels, leading to cleaner air and water, and less pollution, which in turn improves public health and mitigates climate change

500

What is runoff?

Runoff in the water cycle refers to precipitation (rain, snow, etc.) that flows across the land surface instead of infiltrating into the ground.

500

What is the Easterlies?

Easterlies blow away from the polar regions

How is Heat Transferred?


  • Conduction: Transfer of heat through direct contact between objects.
  • Convection: Transfer of heat by the movement of fluids (liquids or gases).
  • Radiation: Transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves, even without a medium.
