focusing on solar and wind power. Solar power is simply the conversion of energy from the sun into usable energy. Solar energy can be harvested in two ways: indirectly by using the heat of the sun and directly by utilizing its energy to turn it into electricity. What makes solar power so popular is the fact that it can be used anywhere that has sunlight. Solar power can be collected in 3 different ways: solar heat collectors‚ solar thermal concentrating systems‚ and photovoltaics. Solar heat collectors

In contrast‚ fuels such as coal‚ oil‚ and natural gas are non-renewable‚it’s finite and will some day run out completely. One of the most common renewable energy in the US is Hydropower.

Climate change is caused by factors such as oceanic process (e.g. oceanic circulation) ‚ biotic processes ‚ variation in solar radiation ‚ volcanic eruption ‚ plate tectonic and human activities.

RENEWABLE ENERGY In simple terms Renewable Energy‚ as its name implies‚ is energy that is renewable—it is naturally replenished and is the energy that is derived from nature itself like water‚ sunlight‚ wind etc. Most of the energy used before the start of the Industrial Revolution was renewable energy. The beginning of the Industrial Revolution led to an increase in the demand for coal‚ and as a result‚ it replaced most of the “bio mass” used by humanity. With the discovery of oil‚ renewable energy

How The Scientist Discover The Interior Of The Earth Two ways that Scientist may study and find the interior of the Earth are with Meteorites and Magnetic Fields. The scientist may use meteorites to discover the interior of the Earth’s earlier solar system by studying the meteorites that arrived on the Earth. The scientist might use magnetic fields by the science advances which involves measuring the ocean and coming up with a hypothesis. Therefore‚ the meteorites and the magnetic fields all

Some of these forms of alternative energy that can definitely help solve the problem are: wind energy; hydrogen; solar power; wave energy. Currently wind power only provides about 0.15 percent of the worlds electricity but it has become one of the fastest growing forms of clean‚ alternative energy.
