Human Uses of Energy
Give 2 examples of a renewable resource and a nonrenewable resource.
Renewable- Water, Solar, Wind, Biomass, Nuclear, Geothermal
Nonrenewable- Oil, Coal, Natural Gas
This is what it is called when people try to dig up Fossil Fuels.
What is *Mining?
This will help stop pollution in the oceans. It is something that is easy to forget but very important as well.
What is *Recycle
I can be cut down and burned for campfires. I can also absorb my energy from the sun, which is why I am so packed with energy.
Biomass Energy; trees, plants etc.
How do we obtain Natural Gasses? It is a weird word.
Hydrofracking
Fission is used in which type of energy source?
Nuclear Energy
What is a heat island?
An area that is hotter than the surrounding area because of being a large city.
True or False: Electric Cars emit *MORE Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere (cO2) than Gasoline cars?
What is FALSE
Sometimes, I am not very active. Other days, I can cause many things to fall down (like leaves). I like to help generate energy by making large fans spin around.
What is *Wind Energy
Name 2 pros and cons of fossil fuels?
Pros: easy to get, inexpensive
Cons: Pollution when used and bad for land when obtained.
When plants and animals are forced to move away from their habitat (home) to make room for human activities like *Burning/Mining Fossil Fuels, *Building Homes, *Building Dams and *Growing Food.
What is *Deforestation
How does a nuclear power plant work?
A fission reaction releases energy, heating water, releases steam that turns a turbine and produces electricity.
What does mitigate mean?
Help to control or prevent.
I am a replacement for electrical energy. I sit on top of houses and absorb energy but I am not an organism (I am not alive).
Solar Panel
What is the greenhouse effect?
When the earth is hotter because of build up of green house gasses.
Mankind is only growing in numbers as the current estimated number of people in the world stands at about 7 Billion. What term is referred to as the building of cities?
Which cycle on earth allows us to use hydro-power as a source of energy?
What is the *Water Cycle
Instead of using nuclear energy to turn our lights on, we can use __________________ panels. I am a renewable natural resource.
What is *Solar/What is *the Sun
I am the type of Resource that uses the flow of rivers, lakes and bodies of water to generate energy.
Hydro-power.
1. fill above amount.
2. put on table.
3. eye level
4. use dropper to take out until bottom of curve is on line
What 3 parts of Earth can be polluted?
*Air
*Land
*Water
Greenhouse gasses cause the sun to heat the planet up too quickly. I am heavier that the Nitrogen-Oxide that you mostly breathe.
What is Carbon Dioxide (cO2)
What kinds of organisms are damaging the planet the most?
What are *Humans
I am the reason for *Hot Springs. I come from deep beneath the earth's surface and can also cause volcanoes.
Geothermal Energy
This *Liquid type of Fossil Fuel is used to power Cars and other automobiles.
What is petroleum.
