16
Q

Greenhouse gases

A

gases in the earth’s atmosphere that trap heat

17
Q

The enhanced greenhouse effect

A

extra greenhouse gases in our atmosphere trap too much of the Sun’s energy

18
Q

The greenhouse effect

A

The greenhouse effect is the process through which heat is trapped near Earth’s surface by substances known as ‘greenhouse gases.’

19
Q

Fuel

A

material such as coal, gas, or oil that is burned to produce heat or power

20
Q

Emission

A

the production and discharge of something, especially gas or radiation

21
Q

A

a generic term for non-renewable energy sources

22
Q

Molecular formula

A

a chemical formula that gives the total number of atoms of each element present in a molecule.

23
Q

Compound

A

a substance made from two or more different elements that have been chemically joined

24
Q

Wasted energy

A

occurs when energy is produced but not used, or when it is used inefficiently

25
Q

Energy

A

the ability to do work

26
Q

Transport

A

take or carry (people or goods) from one place to another using a vehicle,

27
Q

What happens to energy during an endothermic reaction?

A

An endothermic reaction is any chemical reaction that absorbs heat from its environment.
