The “biological capacity” is the ability of the natural world to replenish its renewable resources and absorb the resulting waste products and pollution. Exceeding the biological capacity creates an “ecological deficit.” Discuss the potential future implications for the earth resulting from the fact that we are currently exceeding the earth’s biological capacity by about 50 percent
List of non-renewable resources found at home and how can this be conserve to make it more useful through the years to save money and help reduce environmental degradation
32.) In the United States most of the fuel used comes from a classification called fossil fuels. What does fossil fuel refer to? a. fuel that formed from ancient plant and animal life, representations of which are sometimes found as fossil imprints b. a technique known as fossilization that must be used in order to obtain energy from these fuels embedded fossil remains in the fuel itself
All of the below statements caution us about the dangers of continued over-reliance upon fossil fuels for future production, EXCEPT for this one. Please identify the statement that does NOT alert us that continued dependence solely upon fossil fuels for future productive activity may not be in the best interests of our global community. Group of answer choices Fossils Fuels have been associated with environmental damage, and some claim, possibly even global warming and climate change. Economies that possess oil, coal and other fossil fuels can control the price and availability of these and deny the use of these for political reasons. Better technology is enabling exploration and extraction of previously unknown or unavailable sources of oil, and even coal.
Indicate wether each of the following situations describes a transfer, une transformation of energy or both. a) The energy of the sun allows plants to perform photosynthesis. b) The energy real eased by a heating system makes it possible to warm the air in a house. c) Power plants produce electricity which then reaches our house. d) Food provides the energy we need to do our business daily.
The newly appointed Government of a small island, depend on the import of fossil fuels to produce electricity, has the desire toinvest in one or two renewable energy technologies. The advantage of the island is the number of different renewable energypotentials. The cost of electricity on the island is $0.39 kWh.1) Using solar radiation photovoltaic technologies, it was estimated that 500 rooftops, with a total surface area of 456 000 m2 will be available to install the photovoltaic panels. Assume that the solar panels actually cover 90% of the available surface area. Given, the size of a standard photovoltaic cell is 156 mm by 156 mm and for a silicon photovoltaic cell, each PV cellproduces a current of 2.5 A at a voltage of 0.5 V. The average daily irradiance for the island is 185 W/m2. Assume the initial capacity expenditure evaluated on a yearly basis of the photovoltaic system, that covers, 90% of the available surface area is US$600 000 and the annual operating cost is US $5…
