Science Flashcards
co generation
technology of producing two or more forms of energy from a single energy generator
renewable resource
are those that can be replaced (ex: the suns energy and wind)
non- renewable resource
are things that can’t be replaced and are limited (ex: gold, fossil fuels)
difference between a non - renewable and a renewable resource ?
renewable resources can be replaced and non- renewable resources can’t be
what are some non and renewable resources
renewable : suns energy, wind, etc.
non - renewable - fossil fuels, gold, oil, etc
disadvantages and advantages of fossil fuel use?
advantages - very easy to obtain and transport and are available in large quantities
disadvantages - burning them pollutes the environment by releasing soot+ ashes and gases such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and etc.
economic costs
the costs in dollar of using
environmental costs
the negative effects on the environment
societal costs
negative effects on people all together
what are the environmental cost of using fossil fuels?
air pollution, acid rain, and gases in the air are harmful to peoples lungs and rain falling through polluted air dissolves the sulfur dioxide in air
what are the economic cost of using fossil fuels?
costs of processing the fuel and transporting it to market
costs of buying it to put into your car
anti - pollution technology in cars
what are the societal cost of using fossil fuels?
linked to environmental costs
wind energy
the energy of moving air, can be captured by wind mills
what are some advantages and disadvantages of wind energy
sksksks
what is one advantage and disadvantage of nuclear energy
advantage- can produce lots of energy
disadvantage - the fuel source is harmful to living things
