Compare the size and weight of the Waste generated of equal size power plants?
Power can be generated by several types of power plants. These are differentiated by the type of energy they convert into electricity. A few broad categories that come to mind and the types of pollution they generate follow. I have only considered the ongoing emissions from the continuous operation phase of each system's life cycle.Coal fired plants:Air: (CO2, particulates, NOx, SOx, smoke and haze, radiation) Water: (Solids, pH, treatment chemicals, Heat) Soil: (Treatment chemicals, solids, Hi/Lo pH materialOil fired plants) :Air: (CO2, particulates, NOx, SOx, smoke and haze) Water: (Spilled oil Heat) Soil: (Treatment chemicals, spilled oil)Natural gas fired plants:Air: (CO2, NOx, SOx,) Water: (Heat) Soil:(Treatment chemicals)Geothermal plants:Air: (None) Water: (Heat) Soil: (None)Hydroelectric plants:Air: (None) Water: (None) Soil: (None)Note: Dammed areas may contribute methane to the atmosphere through anaerobic decompositionSolar powered plants:Air: (None) Water: (None) Soil: (None)Nuclear Plants:Air: (None) Water: (None) Soil: (None)Note: Spent fuel requires long term storage or reprocessing
How does gravity relate to a stream's ability to erode and deposit materials?
The gradient of a stream effects the energy as it has eroding soil and rock. This happens because depending on the pressure of the water flow, it can erode soil and rock.
What are the List of odourless objects?
water
How do water puddles disappear?
Some of the water evaporates, and some of it drains away through the soil.
How far can gamma rays from naturally occurring radioactive materials travel in soil?
This depends on the type and water content of the soil, but usually it is less than 45 cm.
What is a better absorber and radiator of heat energy soil or water?
Water absorbs and radiates heat better than soil does.
What holds heat longer soil or water?
Soil absorbs heat much faster than water, but water does not have air in between like soil so it doesnt lose heat as fast, so water holds heat longer
How do soil and water absorb and release heat?
about how do soil and water compare in their ability to absorb and release heat
Does water or soil lose heat faster?
Soil will lose heat faster than water. This depends on the specific heat of the two substances you are comparing. Specific heat of a substance is the amount of energy required to raise its temperature by 1 degree celsius. It also describes the amount of energy the substance would have to lose to change the temperature by one degree. The specific heat of water is unusually high (1 calorie/gram of water). The specific heat of granite, which is similar to the specific heat of soil minerals, is only 0.19 calorie/gram of granite). Dry soil will lose heat more slowly than wet soil.
Do animals and their cells get energy from soil and water?
animals and their cells get their energy from the sun, not the soil and water.
Which held its heat longer soil or water?
Soil
Does soil absorb radiation better than water?
Water absorbs and conducts radiation better. ex. electricity is a form of radiation this is false because water will take longer to absorb heat than soil but when the source of heat is gone the water will insulate more heat than the soil, therefore the water will keep heat longer than soil but the soil will heat up faster.
Which substance absorbed more heat water or soil?
soil
What is the definition of soil water?
The answer I received was water situated in soil according to biology-online.org
Does soil cannot retain heat?
Soil both absorbs and retains heat. The length of time soil retains its heat is dependent upon the amount of moisture or water in the soil.
What are physical elements?
The physical elements of the environment include: -air -flora and fauna -soil -solar energy(heat and light) -water
Why does soil cool down quicker than water?
Soil does not have a higher specific heat than water.Specific heat capacity, also known simply as specific heat (Symbol: C or c) is the measure of the heat energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one Kelvin (or degree Celsius). Water has a specific heat of 1 calorie / gram / degree C.The specific heat of dry is soil is ~ 0.2 calorie / gram / degree C or ~ 5 times lower than the specific heat of water. The specific heat of moist soil is the weighted average of the water and mineral components of the soil .
