What else can I help you with?
What is an energy source that exist in a fixed amount or that is used up faster that it can be replaced in nature?
Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, are examples of energy sources that exist in a fixed amount and are used up faster than they can be replaced in nature. These sources are non-renewable and finite, meaning they take millions of years to form and cannot be easily replenished.
Energy resources that can't be replaced soon?
Fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas are non-renewable resources that cannot be replaced on a human timescale. These resources take millions of years to form and are being depleted much faster than they can be replaced, leading to concerns about future energy availability and environmental impacts.
Is a nonrenewable energy source?
yeah. it does technically renew, but it take millions of years.
What source of energy cannot be replaced?
Non-renewable sources of energy such as fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas cannot be replaced once they are depleted. These sources take millions of years to form and are being consumed much faster than they can be replenished.
Does nuclear energy take place at high temperatures?
Your question expresses a significant bit of conceptual confusion. Perhaps I can clear up some of this confusion and at the same time answer your question.What we call temperature is simply the manifestation of kinetic energy at the level of the atom (i.e. slow moving atoms = low temperature, fast moving atoms = high temperature). What we call nuclear energy is simply an excess in the nuclear binding energy, which is the energy binding the protons and neutrons together inside the nucleus and is a manifestation of the strong nuclear force and to a lesser extent the weak nuclear force. This movement of atoms has no affect at all on whether there is or is not excess nuclear energy inside atomic nuclei or if that excess nuclear energy is being released or even can be released. Those nuclei having the least nuclear binding energy are the nuclei of the elements from iron through lead, both the elements lighter than iron and the elements heavier than lead have more nuclear binding energy (which can be considered to be excess nuclear binding energy that could potentially be released).There are three processes that can release excess nuclear energy: radioactive decay, nuclear fission, and nuclear fusion. All of these processes transform nuclear energy to kinetic energy at the level of the atom (i.e. temperature aka heat), and thereby convert a small amount of the mass of the atom into energy. Of these three both radioactive decay and nuclear fission can take place at any temperature, even those so cold as to approach absolute zero. Neither radioactive decay nor nuclear fission takes place any faster or slower with a change in temperature. Nuclear fusion though can only take place at very high temperatures (and pressures) as the nuclei must be very close together and moving fast enough to be able to collide and fuse, despite the strong electrostatic repulsion due to both nuclei involved being positively charged. But this is a threshold temperature, even at high temperatures just below the threshold no nuclear fusion can take place at all and once above the threshold and nuclear fusion begins, raising the temperature further has very little affect on the rate at which that nuclear fusion takes place.Nuclear reactors operate using the process of nuclear fission and generate heat by both nuclear fission and radioactive decay. We are not yet able to extract nuclear energy in a controlled manner using the process of nuclear fusion (only explosive release of nuclear energy has ever been successfully done using the process of nuclear fusion).
Is nuclear power ethical to use faster than be replaced?
yes because we need our energy and we need to keep our air clean
Is it ethical to hydropower faster than it can be replaced?
yes
Is it ethical to use geothermal energy faster than it can be replaced?
No, it is not ethical to use geothermal energy faster than it can be naturally replenished. This can lead to resource depletion and environmental harm in the long run. It is important to use geothermal energy sustainably to ensure its availability for future generations.
Is it ethical to use geothermal faster than it can be replaced?
No because it is in the ground
Is it ethical to use solar energy faster than it can be replaced?
Natural gas is a not a renewable resource. whatever portion of it is used, can never be replaced, although there are other sources of methane and some them are renewable. Since it cannot be replaced, any use is a use faster than it can be replaced. Thus the question does not compute.
Is it ethical to use hydropower faster than it can be replaced?
It would be, yes, because we need wind for many things, but there is no ethical problem, as it is physically impossible to do this. It can be unethical to use anything faster than it can be replaced, depending on what it is. To do this with trees is unethical, but with coal it is not.
Is it ethical to use coal faster than it can be replaced?
No because it takes longer for coal to produce than it is to use it
Is it ethical to use hydro power faster than it can be replaced?
Using hydro power faster than it can be replaced raises ethical concerns, as it can lead to environmental degradation, habitat loss, and negative impacts on local communities and ecosystems. Sustainable management practices are essential to ensure that hydro resources are utilized responsibly, allowing for the preservation of biodiversity and the rights of affected populations. Ultimately, prioritizing long-term sustainability over short-term gains is crucial for ethical energy production.
Is it ethnical to use nuclear power faster than it can be replaced?
No, because what if all of the money is and we cannot get anymore.
How are renewable and nonrenewable energy alike?
Renewable energy sources use various non petroleum, non wood, non peat, non nuclear sources for fuel energy, typically to produce electricity. Petroleum, wood, peat, and nuclear energy are non renewable sources because they can be depleted faster than they can be replaced. The main way these energy sources are alike is they are all used to produce electricity.
What word means used faster than they're replaced?
energy resources
Which bomb has a faster energy nuclear bomb or atomic bomb?
I am not sure what is meant by the phrase faster energy. As far as the difference. A nuclear bomb can refer to a fission device (also known as atomic bomb). Or it can be a thermonuclear device (combining both fission and fusion reactions), which yields a larger blast energy from the same amount of material.For some reason, links are not allowed to be added right now, so go to Wikipedia and type in "Nuclear Weapon" for more information.
