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?
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?
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' ...
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 ...
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...
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...
Why are igneous rocks useful? Why is feldspar important? Why are metamorphic rocks formed by contact metamorphism? How does rock mining affect biodiversity? Why are minerals important to the rock cycle? How are sedimentary rocks and fossil fuels related? How does cooling rate affect the crystal ...
Explain how hydraulic fracturing and tar (oil) sands are used to obtain fossil fuels. Explain how vaccines work. Name a natural disaster that can contribute to ecosystem productivity. Explain why. Explain why Africa is not identified as a continent with high cancer rates. Think about the ch...
