Is firewood an indirect form of solar energy?
Well it depends on how you look at it. Firewood itself isn't because it isn't producing any thermal or electric energy. If you are looking at it as firewood being burned then yes it is an indirect form of solar because it is being converted to thermal energy
How do living systems get solar energy?
Solar energy arrives at the planet Earth in the form of sunlight. Plants use a catalyst called chlorophyll to convert the energy of sunlight into usable chemical energy, through a process known as photosynthesis.
You use mechanical energy to walk around what form did this energy have before your body changed it into mechanical energy?
Chemical energy ... in food ... which plants made from solar energy, water, and dirt.
Are diamonds biomass?
No.From Wikipedia:"Biomass, a renewable energy source, is biological material from living, or recently living organisms, such as wood, waste, (hydrogen) gas, and alcohol fuels."Diamonds are formed deep within the earth's mantle, and are per se, permanent in their form.
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.
Why is wind energy indirect form of solar energy?
Indirect solar energy includes hydropower, biomass and wind energy. The air circulates from cold to warm areas producing winds, as the sun heats the earth.
Wind energy is an indirect form of what energy?
Solar Energy
Is alcohol an indirect form of solar energy?
yes
Is fuel in the form of wood an indirect source of solar energy?
No. Solar energy comes from the sun.
How are fossil fuels an indirect form of solar energy?
Fossil fuels are an indirect form of solar energy because solar energy was used to sustain the plant life,through photosynthesis, that is now now part of the fossil fuels.
How is biomass stored for later use?
Biomass can be stored in the form of wood chips. It is normally dried, and then later used in a boiler for energy.
Is firewood an indirect form of solar energy?
Well it depends on how you look at it. Firewood itself isn't because it isn't producing any thermal or electric energy. If you are looking at it as firewood being burned then yes it is an indirect form of solar because it is being converted to thermal energy
How is hydroelectric power an indirect form of solar energy?
Because solar energy runs the water cycle, giving rise to precipitation, and then the rain water flows into the reservoirs of dams.
Is electricity a form of energy biomass?
No.
What is Gross primary production?
The rate at which an ecosystems producers covert solar energy into chemical energy (in the form of biomass). To Solve : GPP = NPP + R (R - Respiration)
Is there any alternative to form oil?
wind mills, solar power, hydro elecctric power, geothermal energy, biomass, coal, carbon capture,and neuclear energy
How does biomass energy form can be used in your home?
Wood burning in a fireplace would be an example of energy from a biomass.
