Why would you not build a nuclear plant in the middle of a desert?

A nuclear power plant needs a large heatsink, i.e. cooling water. There is very little cooling water in the middle of a desert. That is why nuclear power plants are generally built on the edge of oceans or lakes, or on large rivers.


Information about the life of people living in the Thar Desert of India?

The people of Thar Desert are simple and brave. The main occupation of the people in desert is agriculture and animal husbandry. In past years there has been a tremendous increase in human population as well as animal population. This has led to improper control of grazing and extensive cultivation resulting into the deterioration of vegetation resources. The increase of human and livestock population in the desert has lead to deterioration in the ecosystem resulting in degradation of soil fertility. The living standard of the people in the desert is low. Jodhpur, the largest city in the region, lies in the scrub forest zone. Bikaner and Jaisalmer are located in the desert proper. A large irrigation and power project has reclaimed areas of the northern and western desert for agriculture. The small population is mostly pastoral, and hide and wool industries are prominent. The Indian Desert is mainly inhabited by Hindus, with Muslim and Sikh minorities. The portion in Pakistan is inhabited by primarily by Sindhis and Kolhis. There are around 60% Muslims and 40% Hindus in the Pakistani part of the Thar Desert. A colorful culture rich in tradition prevails in the desert. The people have a great passion for music and poetry.


What is the relationship between the sun and energy?

The relationship between energy and power is that power is energy used over time!-Brandon Davis, Norwood MAAdditional AnswerPower is the rate at which energy is expended. In other words, power is energy divided by time. Power is measured in watts, while energy is measured in joules. So, the watt is equivalent to a joule per second. For the purpose of billing its customers, energy companies use the kilowatt hour, rather than the joule, kilojoule, or megajoule, to measure energy consumption. Since power is energy divided by time, then energy is power times time. If power is measured in kilowatts, and time in hours, then energy can be measured in kilowatts x hours, or kilowatt hours (kW.h).


Is exponential signal an energy signal or power signal?

If the signal is not bounded by a step function, then an exponential signal is neither a power nor an energy signal. So the answer is neither.


What are the main advantages and disadvantages of solar power in Africa?

The climate of South Africa varies greatly in all nine provinces. The east coast of South Africa receives extremely high rainfall throughout the year making it a tropical haven, while the interior is moderate in some places and the west coast is extremely dry with desert conditions prevailing for the north-west along the Namibian border. The country contains forests (KZN), savanna (KZN), grasslands (Highveld), semi-desert (Karoo) and desert (Kalahari) areas. This varying climate landscape allows for different wildlife and different minerals to be available making South Africa the third richest country in terms of biodiversity. A diversity of minerals like gold, oil, diamonds etc can be found throughout the country giving it a high demand by foreign investors.

Which would make a better solar power plant a polar reigon or a desert region?

A desert region would make a better location for a solar power plant due to its high levels of sunlight exposure and minimal cloud cover. Polar regions receive less sunlight and have longer periods of darkness, making them less ideal for solar energy production.


How does the suns energy enter the ecosystem?

the sun enters the ecosystem first. it is the most important type of energy in the world we depend on it for our plants solar power tide and to stay warm. the way it enters ecosystems is during plants photosynthesis, plants need to do photosynthesis to survive and by doing this they store up glucose which is then converted to starch and stored in the leaves. then consumers come along and eat the plant and so on and so forth creating an ecosystem until there is no energy left from the eaten plant in the ecosystem


Why was the ecological pyramid first created?

The ecological pyramid was first created to visually represent the trophic levels in an ecosystem and show the flow of energy and biomass from one level to another. It provides a simple way to understand the energy relationships within an ecosystem and how energy is transferred and transformed as it moves through different organisms.


Why is energy important for the ecosystem?

Because if you think about solar power you need the sun to power the solar panels which is very good for the eco system


How does energy get its power?
