fossil fuels:they are non-renewable / will eventually run out;if used less it would result in:less carbon dioxide released from burning;less global warming;(so less) example of adverse effect of global warming;less (other) pollution resulting from burning;example of adverse effect of such pollu...
How does a nuclear power plant work? Okay, we've figured how to get energy from an atom, but the energy we've got isn't that helpful: it's just a huge amount of heat! How do we turn that into something much more useful, namely electricity? A nuclear power plant works pretty much...
Why are combustion reactions of fossil fuels so exothermic? Why are carbon atoms important in organic molecules? How does methane act as a greenhouse gas? Why do fatty acid come in chains of even-numbered hydrocarbons? Why is carbon the backbone of organic chemistry?
Describe, how the use of fossil fuels changes the concentration of carbon in the atmosphere and the impacts this increase in carbon dioxide has on the planet? Draw the carbon cycle. How does the atmosphere regulate Earth's climate? Descr...
Elemental or organic sulfur in fossil fuels and biomass reacts with O2 (g) at high temperatures to produce SO2 (g), some of which is further oxidized to sulfate aerosols during combustion (Sarbassov et al., 2018). Pyrogenic sulfate has a characteristic Δ17O≈ 0‰ because all of its ...
Networks are formed and renewed ‘when members of one board also serve on others’. Feature of these networks and class power is understanding ‘who is and is not a member’An example of how social and symbolic capital are converted in an ongoing process Discursive form of power:incumbents' ...
A hydropower facility consists of a plant for electricity production and a water reservoir formed by a dam in a river. The dam has gates that can open or close depending on how much water is needed to produce a certain amount of electricity. The electricity is transported thr...
Why are fossil fuels found buried under rock? Explain how sunspots are produced and their effects on Earth. Of what are comets made? And asteroids? What is Earth's mantle? What elements make up the Earth's mantle? How are comets different from asteroids?
Explain how the second law of Thermodynamics is related to free energy. What is the sustainable yield of a renewable resource? What are the two most important natural greenhouse gases? What does the term "fossil fuels" mean and how are they formed? What are the three processes ...
Explain how pesticides kill and deter organisms, how they can move around in the environment, how they are studied (or not studied), why people use them (or don't use them), how they're regulated (or mis-regulated). Explain how the chemicals released by b...
