| Fossil Fuel: Natural Gas | Renewable resource: Wind Power | Describe this resource | Natural Gas in a Hydrocarbon gas that is naturally occurring. It consists of mostly methane and is used as fuel for some vehicles and heating the home. | Wind power is one of the cleanest sources of electricity. It usually involves a fan that spins‚ and the energy is transported to a generator. | Advantages of this resource (include at least two) | 1. Very abundant underground.2. Is cleaner than most other

Fossils Fossils are the remains of ancient organisms‚ usually animals and plants but there are also minute bacteria and occasionally fungi. They are preserved by natural processes of burial. Most are entombed in sediment i.e. mud‚ silt or sand which with time transforms into a sedimentary rock such as sandstone. Rarely‚ fossils are enclosed in ash erupted from volcanoes‚ resin that oozes from trees and hardens into amber‚ or natural tar seeping from the ground. Normally only the resistant hard

fatty acid. It is a fuel that derived from the vegetable oils‚ animal fats‚ which is similar to the diesel fuel except that it is made from the crops. It is produced from domestically grown‚ renewable sources‚ such as crop oils or animal fats which are then chemically converted into biodiesel (Habmigren‚ 2003). Unlike diesel‚ biodiesel contains no petroleum products and free of sulfur compounds and aromatics (Habmigren‚ 2003). Until today‚ it is still the only alternative fuel for motor vehicle. The

efficient‚ clean‚ high out-put energy production. As a civilization we need not focus on what the past has held for energy production but rather what the present and future hold for us. Two key options are the long lasting‚ high out-put but environmentally hazardous option which is nuclear fission (nuclear power) and the safe but potential ground water contamination hazard which is geothermal energy. This paper will point out strictly fact based information on both forms of energy and which one shows the

Each year fossil fuels pollute the earth and in turn contribute to global warming. Pollution from fossil fuels is harmful to humans‚ ecosystems‚ as well as the overall environment. Fossil fuels pollute streams‚ rivers and even vast areas of the ocean. Just recently there was an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico; this spill caused the deaths of

Mr. Lowery English 11‚ Section 2542-02 24 November 2008 Renewable Resources Has the time come for the world to give up on what it’s relied on the most‚ fossil fuels? “Oil fuels the modern world. No other substance can equal the enormous impact which the use of oil has had on so many people‚ so rapidly‚ in so many ways‚ and in so many places around the world” (Duplar 1). There are facts showing that fossil fuels are damaging the environment‚ people’s health‚ and even our own wallets

by burning fossil fuel it will release CO2: in the case of coal fuel 295 kg/t; in the case of natural gas fuel 206 kg/t. The electric power consumption of an efficient plant is around 20 kWh per tonne of lime. This additional input is the equivalent of around 20 kg CO2 per ton if the electricity is coal-generated. Thus‚ total emission may be around 1 tonne of CO2 for every tonne of lime even in efficient industrial plants‚ but is typically 1.3 t/t.However‚ if the source of heat energy used in its

What are fossils? Fossils are the remains or marks of plants and animals that lived a very long time ago. They are usually found in rocks and stones. Fossils are important because they tell us a story about things that lived on the earth before us. What Things Become Fossils? Animals and plants become fossils. So do nests‚ eggs‚ footprints and even animal droppings! How are Fossils Made? Fossils are made from the hard parts of plants and animals‚ such as:-bark‚ seed cases‚ bones and
