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...
Countries without large fossil fuel supplies find nuclear an attractive option. Chart: Nuclear plants (orange slice) supply about 8 percent of the energy used in the United States (that's all energy, not just electricity). Fossil fuels (gray slices) supply almost 9 times more. The outer ...
the burning of fossil fuels is not required to produce the electricity. Hydropower is good for the environment because it does not release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere nor produce waste that requires special containment, as do other forms of energy production. After the wate...
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...
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 ...
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 ...
How “clean” is the hydrogen economy? Tracing the connections between hydrogen and fossil fuels 2024, Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions Show abstract Challenges of the current discourse on incumbent firms in sustainability transitions 2024, Energy Research and Social Science Citation Excerpt...
increasing the CO2levels in a planet's atmosphere, causing rapid heatingThis is a reference toclimate changecurrently occurring on planet Earth. Theoverwhelming consensus among climate scientistsis that this is that this shift is caused by human factors, such as the burning of fossil fuels releasing...
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?
