With the growing population in the past years comes an increase in urbanization and industrialization, thus increasing the number of buildings in urban areas and consequently this means an overall rise in energy usage by the people. The increase in population and amount of people moving into urban areas is occurring at an alarming rate, but this doesn’t come as a surprise. Ever since 1950 this has been occurring. From 1950 to 1986 there was an increase from 600 million to 2 billion people…

of fossil fuels. Now what does combustion has to do with the extinction of these animals? Let’s start with the United States. For the year of 2014, the energy consumption of all the citizens of the United States was 4093 billion kilowatt-hours. The citizens of United States, are among the top consumers of electricity. To fulfill such a high demand of electricity, the government of United States has…

for two reasons. First reason, if we continue to use fossil fuel, the planet may be in danger and may cause carbon dioxide emissions. The carbon dioxide is increasing the planet’s temperature, which in turn will destroy us and our entire ecosystem. The second reason is we need to find energy sources that do not put out carbon dioxide (i.e.) fossil fuel. Fossil fuels are not renewable and are harmful to the environment. Also, fossil fuel cost goes up every day. With more and more countries…

Out of Reach Sure, fracking can provide a quick and easy process of obtaining fuel, but it is also an quick and easy way of killing our environment. Fracking is a popular practice done around the world; if at high pressure, highly toxic chemicals mixed with water can extract gas from shale. This toxic mixture, at high pressure, is put into a pipe that extends far underground; gas pockets are released and then rise to the top of the well. Natural gas and crude oil are produced from Fracking. Many…

energy, hydrological energy, biomass energy and more (“Renewable energy and non-renewable energy resources”). If each city has them all it would be impossible to run out of energy. On the other hand non-renewable energy sources such as burning fossil fuels cause great pollution which doesn’t harm anybody except us. Furthermore, there will come a time when non-renewable energy will deplete. They also caused the problem of global warming which will cause great floods at the coasts of the…

The great consumption of fossil fuels and the exponential increase in human population have also increase the greenhouse gases on the planet. The depletion and of petroleum and to their harm to the environment, biofuel arise as a promising option to replace fossil fuels in the future. Biofuel are derived from biomass conversion with many different examples such as biogas, biodiesel and bioethanol as the most currently used, and biofuels are considered not to leave a carbon print to the…

Things such as fossil fuel, minerals, water, and trees are called natural resources. They are provided by the Earth so that human can use it to produce a much more elaborate product such as desks, gasoline, and shelters. However, these raw materials are limited, they do not and cannot be replenish, yet our human are extremely dependent on them. As an undergrad student who’s majoring in Environment Engineer, I strongly believe that the world should be more concern and preserve our natural…

around us and can be created from many things such as oil, natural gas, coal, wood, water, wind, and petroleum. Most industrial nations use fossil fuels, which are natural fuels formed in the geological past from the remains of living organisms such as coal, natural gas and oil to be driving force that powers their modern industrial societies. These fuels are unable to be recreated, so the rate of consumption of these resources is at a staggeringly high rate. Non-renewable resources are finite,…

2015 (McLamb). Much of the economic progress that we, as a people have made since those times, such as a higher standard of living, more accessible education, a larger workforce/population, and more can be attributed to the exploitation of fossil fuels and other forms of unsustainable, non-renewable,…

again, and finally the flame gets to about one centimeter again and stays fairly constant. This is made possible by capillary action and combustion reaction. When the candle is first being lit, it can not burn due to the fact that it does not have any fuel yet. As the candle is being lit, the flame heats the wax coating causing the wax to go through the process of combustion reaction. This means elements in the wax, carbon and hydrogen, react with the oxygen in the air around the candle in…
