Fossil

Imagine, just for a second, the Earth without any people. Just let you imagination create this beautiful place where all creature are at its naturally given place. Don’t be selfish! Just imagine it and you can go back to being self-centered and ungrateful in a second. Imagine the perfect tranquility in a chaotic, natural sequence of events. Imagine standing in the middle of the rainforest and looking at world through a tiny drop of dew that’s sitting on the patal of an orchid. Perfect,right?…

Two benefits of nuclear fission technology for society are that significantly fewer amounts of greenhouses gases are being released into the atmosphere, compared to fossil fuels. This results in a slowed rate of pollution and global warming. Another benefit is that power created through nuclear fission is immense and is able to meet the demands of large and industrial cities as well as the suburban towns too. Also the energy is quick to create too, which means that immense amount of energy can…

Coal is a fuel source used to make electricity and heat through burning. It’s considered a carbon-based fossil fuel. Fossil fuels are fuels formed through natural processes. Coal is a sedimentary rock made from the remains of plants buried in the earth, from about 100 to 400 million years ago. Let’s explore how people use coal. Long ago, North American Indians used coal to bake their clay pottery. By the 1800’s, coal was used to power train engines and steamships, heat homes, and to manufacture…

whether suing on behalf of future generations should be allowed. It has been scientifically proven that the burning of fossil fuels harms the environment. A more specific example of a fossil fuel is Carbon Dioxide. The release of Carbon Dioxide into the air is an example of a fossil fuel that harms the environment. Scientific claims have shown that the continuation of burning fossil fuels at the rate we are currently, will have negative effects. One of these effects will be the rise of sea…

Well-discussed Marissa. You are correct that the ocean acidification implies to the fundamental changes in the chemical balance or chemistry of the Earth’s oceans due to the increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere caused by burning of fossil fuels (e.g. coal, fuel oil, and natural gas). Ocean acidification is distinct from global climate change; however, the global threats to ecosystems resulting from ocean acidification are theoretically similar as global warming and also, both are…

There are a lot of causes that causes global warming. First of all, burning fossil fuels such as oil and coal to generate the electricity and to run the vehicles, traps the gas which cause global warming. The more we burn the fossil fuels, the faster the climate will change. Second cause of global warming is deforestation. Plants absorb the carbon dioxide from the air and release oxygen. However, when…

greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. These greenhouse gasses cause many health problems for younger kids and older adults, mainly upper respiratory problems like asthma due to the pollution of the air through the burning of the fossil fuels. Even though we know that the burning of fossil fuels negatively impacts our environment and our health, we rely…

Ground Renewable Expeditionary Energy System (GREENS) is more flexible than SPACES. The main concept of GREENS is to use different sources to generate energy. It reduces the need of fossil fuel and distributes the energy to different sections. Marines use GREENS to generate 300 watts of power. A few GREENS modules can be connected together if more power is needed. There are three configurations for GREENS. Configuration 1 is capable to generate 600 watts for 12 hours, configuration 2 is for 300…

when machinery began to replace manual labor (“The Ecological Impact”). Eventually, the usage of fossil fuels increased, powering locomotives and other machineries (“Why did fossil fuels”). These fossil fuels include coal, natural gas, and petroleum, and have been burned to provide energy for factories, cars, and electrical production (Petersen, Sack, and Gabler 84). However, when burned, the fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which covers the Earth like a blanket. This…

energy. Supporters of using wind energy in place of burning fossil fuels claim that relying on wind power will decrease air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, which Burnett strongly disagrees with. With these strong wind energy advocates in mind, he criticizes the supposed…
