A system that receives energy from external sources is called?
open system
Energy can enter the earth system from internal sources through convection and from external sources through what?
Energy can enter the earth system from internal sources through convection and from external sources through radiation from the Sun (solar energy).
What is the difference between conventional energy and non conventional energy?
energy we cannot reproduce eg:fossil fuels is called conventional sources of energy energy which can be reproduced for unlimited times.also known as renewable sources eg:light enrg from sun.
Why is electricity called the secondary form of energy?
Secondary energy sources are also referred to as energy carriers, because they move energy in a useable form from one place to another. There are two well-known energy carriers:ElectricityHydrogenPeople make electricity and hydrogen from the conversion of other sources of energy, such as coal, nuclear, or solar energy. These are called primary sources.For many energy needs, it is much easier to use electricity or hydrogen than it is to use the primary energy sources themselves.
Which energy sources are considered nonrenewable?
Coal oil and natural gas are non-renewable energy sources in that they take millions of years to form in Nature. They are all called Fossil fuels.
A system that receives energy from external sources is called?
open system
Energy can enter the earth system from internal sources through convection and from external sources through what?
Energy can enter the earth system from internal sources through convection and from external sources through radiation from the Sun (solar energy).
Energy sources replaced through ongoing natural processes are called?
natural energy sources
Energy sources other than fossil fuel are called what kind of resources?
They are called renewables. (though strictly, nuclear power is not a fossil fuel and is not renewable).They are called alternative energy sources.
What are energy sources other than fossil fuel called?
Re-newable
Is the energy acquired by a body because of its motion is called potential energy?
No, energy created from movement is called Kineticenergy. Potential energy is energy created from no moving sources.
What are renewable energy sources sometimes called?
They are sometimes called alternative energy sourcesbecause they are not the ones used now. (Yet!)
Describe the Earths principal sources of internal and external energy?
the sun- all the plants need it or photosynthesis and animals need it for oxygen.
Why energy crisis occur and its solutions?
Energy crises can occur due to a variety of reasons such as supply disruptions, increasing demand, inadequate infrastructure, or geopolitical issues. Solutions to energy crises often involve diversifying energy sources, promoting energy efficiency and conservation, investing in renewable energy technologies, and improving energy infrastructure for better distribution and storage. It is also important to foster international cooperation and policy initiatives to address issues affecting global energy security.
How can we ensure there will be enough energy for the future?
In general terms, there are two things we (mankind) can work on.1) Waste less energy. 2) Get access to new energy sources, and especially, to the so-called "renewable" energy sources, meaning, energy sources that will continue working for millions of years.
Organisms that can manufacture their own chemical energy sources are called?
Autotrophs
Are people heterotroph?
People are heterotrophic organisms. They are unable to manufacture their own food and must obtain their nutrients and energy source from external sources.
