26
Cleanest and safest form of energy
Nuclear Power
27
nuclear energy is produced either by
fission or fusion
28
source of nuclear energy
uranite
29
A study by Dincer and Zamfirescu (2014) found that ___ of the countries in the world use nuclear power
15%
30
Also, nuclear energy accounts for ___ of the world energy consumption
10%
31
Nuclear waste
primarily radioactive water
32
a group of energy sources that were formed from ancient plants and organisms during the Carboniferous period
Fossil fuel
33
Different types of fossil fuels form depending on the combination of
organic matter temperature time pressure condition
34
three types of fossil fuels
coal oil natural gas
35
[fossil fuel] formed from plants and trees which hardened due to pressure and heat
coal
36
[fossil fuel] was formed from small organisms where pressure caused the more complex organic matter to decompose
oil
37
[fossil fuel] formed with the same process as oil only was exposed to more heat and pressure causing it to further decompose and turn into a gaseous form
Natural gas
38
worlds dominant energy source
fossil fuels
39
why are nonrenewable resources called "nonrenewable" ?
these resources take millions of years to form which means that they will not be replenished in a lifetime
40
is produced through fission reaction of Uranium 235

43
nuclear energy accounts for ___% of the world energy consumption
10
44
nuclear energy is considered “clean energy” in the sense that
it does not emit co2
45
