Which of the following is NOT a way that homeowners could make their home more energy efficient?
Cover windows to prevent the movement of heat energy.
Set the thermostat to a moderate temperature and do not change it.
Leave the lights on at all times. More energy is used to turn them on and off.
Insulate the walls and atic.
How were fossil fuels formed?
Ancient Lava deposits were changed into fossil fuels by extreme pressure
Fossil fuels are a recent product , created by scientist to provide fuel for the first automobiles that were invented.
Fossil fuels developed by the meteors and comets that struck the Earth before life on Earth began
During the days of early Earth, huge amounts of plant and dinosaur bodies were buried. Deep underground, tremendous heat and pressure cooked these remains into Fossil Fuels
How is coal formed?
Coal, and other minerals, came to the earth by meteors. As the meteors continued to hit the earth, more and more mineral deposits were made.
Coal is formed as Lava from volcanoes dries. The hardened lava then sinks underground where is continues to cool down into coal.
Coal was actually made from the body waste of the dinosaurs. Due to the tremendous size of these creatures, a lot of coal could be formed.
Incomplete decay of plants form peat.
Continuous underground pressure begins the transformation from plant matter into coal.
Which selection illustrates the correct pathway of coal formation?
Bituminous - Lignite - Anthracite
Anthracite - Lignite - Bituminous
Lignite - Anthracite - Bituminous
Lignite - Bituminous - Anthracite
How is Nuclear energy used to produce electricity?
The force of a controlled atomic explosion in the turbine chambers, provides the power to turn the turbine blades which generates electricity.
The atomic nucleus is split. Tremendous amounts of heat is then used to boil water. The steam from the water, turns the blades of a turbine which generates electricity.
Once the nucleus is split, the energy is collected and is sent down the powerlines. This moving nuclear energy is what we call electricity.
Atoms are streamed towards the turbine blades. These atoms force the turbine blades to spin which then generates electricity
The energy of motion in the rise and fall of the tides can be used to generate electricity
Hydroelectric
Solar
Wind
Tidal
Wave Energy
