Earth requires fuel to drive plate tectonics, volcanoes, and its magnetic field. Like a hybrid car, Earth taps two sources of energy to run its engine: primordial energy from assembling the planet and nuclear energy from the heat produced during natural radioactive decay. Scientists have ...
The major advantage of burning waste is that it considerably reduces the amount of trash going to landfills.The average American produces more than 1,600pounds of waste a year.If all this waste were landfilled,it would take more than two cubic yards of landfill space.That's...
