Wind Energy-The Power of the FUTURE How does wind energy work? When the sun warms the land on the Earth, the atmosphere heats also. Warm air rises and cool air sinks, therefore, when the warm air rises, the cool air from the sea replaces it. This movement of air is what makes the wind blow. When the wind blows against the wind turbines, this spins the blades. These blades capture some of the kinetic energy from the wind. The generator takes the kinetic energy from the spinning blades and turns…

concentrations of carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels (Brooks, 2011), oceans are beginning to absorb more and more heat. As greenhouse gases begin trapping CO2 emissions, the atmosphere begins fostering more heat, thus resulting in warmer climates (Ocko, 2013). Not to mention, deforestation practices are among one of several potential causes as well. Without the prevalence of trees and plants, trees that once inhabited a certain area can no longer use carbon dioxide. Typically,…

Solar desalinization is a technique of removing salt from saline water with a uniquely created still that absorbs the sun’s energy in order to boil saline water and intake the product’s steam to be cooled and converted back to pure drinkable water. Lower than one percent of desalinization plants are powered with energy sources similar to solar energy. An example of one of these plants is WaterFX in California which produces 65,00 gallons of drinkable water daily. This same company, WaterFx…

An inconvenient truth is a documentary about humans causing global warming presented by Al Gore. An inconvenient truth uses various techniques to persuade the audience in that global warming is caused by human activity. Montage technique helped to get the message across by displaying images with powerful meaning and gets the point across quickly . False analogy technique was used throughout the film and made the point have more of an impact. Sad voice technique in addition to montage and false…

A fuel is any material that can be made to react with other substances so that it releases chemical energy as heat. Fuels can range from solid forms such as coal, liquid forms such as LPG & gas forms such as propane (you, 2017). Most of the fuels used are fossil fuels. Over 81% of America’s fuels are fossil fuels, these include fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas. Fossil fuels are fuels that are extracted from the earth, this means that they are a limited resource. This creates the need for…

Since the industrial revolution fuels have been used for power. Fossil fuels are organic matter made from remains of flora and fauna which has been subjected to immense pressure and heat deep within the earth over millions of years. Now fuels such as petroleum are used to power vehicles such as cars airplanes and ships (Mitshibishi Heavy Industries, 2015). Fuels are products that are burned to release energy in the form of heat or power, fuels are made out of coal, oil, natural gas, and wood and…

be used as a solid (such as diamonds or coal), liquid (such as oil) or gases (such as carbon dioxide) Through photosynthesis, plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen. Carbon dioxide into carbon compounds make the health of plants, they are stored in the aboveground and underground parts of plants. Animals eat the plants, oxygen and exhale, exhale carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide consists of animals and for use by plants during photosynthesis. Storage not being eaten by…

1) The deforestation that India encountered could have effected India’s farming land creating the “quality of life” of the people of India to not develop in the same ways as the most developed countries like Australia and the U.S. If farming was a very crucial element to their countries and others for food, then the Urbanization of their country could have had a negative effect. They might have gotten more from their farming than their factories and building for mass production or if they were…

bunker fuel extremely cheap for ship operators, but has a much more negative effect on the environment, as when the fuel is burnt the impurities are released into the atmosphere.  Rain is naturally slightly acidic because it combines with carbon dioxide when it falls through the atmosphere and forms carbonic acid (H_2 CO_3), lowering the pH of rain to around 5.6. However, the release of nitrogen and sulfur from burning hydrocarbon fuels can lower the pH of rain to as low as 2.  Nitrogen and…

Oaks trees (Quercus species) have adaptations to withstand drought but the trade off of those adaptations is multiple long-term negative effects on photosynthesis. These adaptations help to tolerate harsh conditions, specifically in drought. In situations of long periods of drought it has been researched that oak trees lose their ability to effectively perform photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process in which sunlight is converted in to chemical energy. Plants make their own food by using…
