What form of energy does nuclear fission release?
Nuclear binding energy is released mostly as heat energy.
What herbivores are in southwestern Ontario?
we have wolves, snakes, coyotes, wolverines. mostly small animals such as these.
The energy and heat for the water cycle comes from where?
It mostly comes from the Sun.
How is energy stored in natural gases and how is that energy released?
Natural gas is mostly methane, CH4, which is a hydrocarbon. When it burns with oxygen it releases thermal energy.
What activities make plant and animal cells different in how they obtain energy?
One of the ways that plant and animal cells differ in how they obtain energy is the chloroplasts in plants. Plants take visible light, mostly red and blue, however they do take some green light waves, in through their chloroplasts, and do photosynthesis with the energy that they have attained from the sunlight. Plants are autotrophes; meaning they obtain their energy from abiotic sources, such as sunlight or inorganic chemicals. Animals are heterotrophs; meaning they obtain their energy and nutrients by consuming other organisms. I hope that helps!
Where can nuclear energy be used in Canada?
It is used mostly in Ontario
Who should decide what types of energy sources should be developed?
Natural renewable energy sources are wind and solar mainly, tidal and waves may be developed as well. 5.7 Energy decisions are influenced by social factors. Questions of ethics, morality, and social norms affect energy decision-making at all levels. Social factors often involve economic, political, and environmental factors.Our energy supply comes mainly from fossil fuels, with nuclear power and renewable sources rounding out the mix. These sources originate mostly in our local star, the Sun.
What energy sources does Canada mostly rely on to produce energy?
water
How can renewable resources save energy?
While the use of some renewable resources may save energy, the fact that a particular resource is renewable is not a guarantee that using it will save energy. The value of a renewable resource is not in energy saving but in the fact that it is renewable and so can be used mostly without fear of excess carbon emissions, and without concern of it being used up and unavailable for future generations.
Does BC use Nuclear Energy?
British Columbia? No reactors there, in Canada mostly in Ontario
What are all the provinces that use nuclear energy?
Ontario and Quebec mostly and the Atlantic does too
What percentage of energy is produced by geothermal energy in the US?
According to US Energy Information Administration data for 2009, geothermal energy (based on electricity net generation kilowatthour billion figures) accounted for 3.58% of total renewable electricity generated in the USA in 2009 and just 0.38% of total electricity generated in 2009. All renewable sources (mostly sourced from hydroelectric, geothermal and wind) accounted for 10.7% of total electricity generated.
What are some advantages and disadvantages of thermal energy?
There are two main types of thermal energy - solar and geothermal. Solar energy is renewable and sustainable, and after the initial investment, is free. Geothermal energy is renewable, sustainable, and clean reducing reliance on foreign energy sources. The disadvantages are mostly financial because of the start up costs. While solar is an individual form of energy, geothermal requires large generation plants. Also solar viability is dependent on the amount of sunshine the area receives.
Is a pig a nonrenewable resource or a renewable resource?
Renewable. They keep reproducing at a rapid rate. Nonrenewable would be a dinosaur since they are extinct and no longer reproduce.
What percentage of electricity is produced by solar energy in the US?
According to US Energy Information Administration data for 2009, solar energy (based on electricity net generation kilowatthour billion figures) accounted for just 0.2% of total renewable electricity generated in 2009 and just 0.02% of total electricity generated in 2009. All renewable sources (mostly sourced from hydroelectric) accounted for 10.7% of total electricity generated.
Is sugarcane renewable energy?
Sugarcane, like other crops, is renewable; you can grow a new crop every year. It is mostly used for food, but can also be fermented to make ethanol.
Why is renewable energy better for the society than non renewable energy?
Renewable energy means using the power of the sun, or the wind, or the movement of water in rivers and oceans to generate power. Once these power plants are established there are no emissions of carbon dioxide or any other pollutants. Non-renewable energy (from burning coal, oil and natural gas, mostly) releases vast amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere increasing our greenhouse gases and contributing to global warming and climate change. So renewable energy is much better for society than non-renewable energy.
