Energy

Earthquakes

earthquakes occur when energy stored in elastically strained rocks is suddenly released. This release of energy causes intense ground shaking in the area near the source of the earthquake and sends waves of elastic energy, called seismic waves, throughout the Earth. Earthquakes can be generated by bomb blasts, volcanic eruptions, and sudden slippage along faults. Earthquakes are definitely a geologic hazard for those living in earthquake prone areas, but the seismic waves generated by earthquakes are invaluable for studying the interior of the Earth.

Energy saver bulbs like compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) or LEDs can be suitable for growing plants that do not require high levels of light. However, for plants that need more intense light for healthy growth, it is recommended to use specialized grow lights that provide the specific light spectrum needed for photosynthesis.

Almost all the energy used by living things comes from the Sun, through the process of photosynthesis. Plants capture sunlight and convert it into chemical energy in the form of glucose, which is then consumed by other organisms, transferring the energy up the food chain.

Antenna pigments, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids, that are light harvesting antennas in the thylakoid. After the antenna pigments absorb light energy and transformed as chemical energy then transfered to the reaction center complex.

S waves disappear in liquid materials because they cannot propagate through fluids. This phenomenon occurs due to the inability of S waves to transmit shear stress in liquid mediums.

Earth's internal energy sources include residual heat from its formation, radioactive decay of elements like uranium and thorium in the mantle, and the heat generated by the solidification of the inner core. These sources drive processes like mantle convection, plate tectonics, and volcanic activity.

Magnetic energy can be converted to mechanical energy through the use of a system called a magnetic motor. In a magnetic motor, the interaction between magnetic fields generates a force that causes movement. This movement can be harnessed to perform mechanical work, such as turning a shaft or driving a load.

Radium primarily emits alpha particles, which are a type of nuclear radiation. This emission of alpha particles generates energy in the form of ionizing radiation.

Geothermal energy comes from the earth's interior in the form of heat stored in rocks and fluids underground. This heat can be harnessed through geothermal power plants to generate electricity or used for direct heating applications.

Matter exchanges between Earth and space include gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide, as well as dust and meteoroids. Energy exchanges involve heat and light in the form of electromagnetic radiation, which includes sunlight and infrared radiation emitted by the Earth.

The Sun is the primary source of external heat energy for Earth. Solar radiation reaches the Earth's surface, providing warmth and driving various processes on the planet, such as weather patterns and the water cycle.

Magma can be a source of energy through geothermal power plants, which harness the heat from magma beneath the Earth's surface to generate electricity. This process involves tapping into the high temperatures of magma to produce steam, which then drives turbines connected to generators to create electricity.

Fermentation is the energy-releasing process that takes place in some yeasts and bacteria. During fermentation, sugars are broken down into alcohol or acids, releasing energy in the form of ATP. This process allows these organisms to survive in low-oxygen environments.

The main factors that contributed to the outbreak of the Great War (World War I) were militarism, imperialism, nationalism, and alliances. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in 1914 served as the spark that ignited the conflict among the major European powers.

Nuclear, solar and geothermal power all provide electricity without harmful greenhouse gas emissions. If we use them instead of burning fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas) then we use less of these non-renewable resources.
True or yes

An organism that can provide a source of energy for a virus or another organism is called a host. The host organism can provide resources and nutrients necessary for the growth and reproduction of the virus or another organism that depends on it for survival.

The word used to describe a mixture that is 85% copper and 15% tin is bronze. Bronze is an alloy made by mixing copper and tin in various proportions to achieve different properties like increased durability and strength.

Not all 2.5V bulbs will have the same wattage, any more than all normal 120 or 240V ones do. The wattage is current I x voltage V. Since by Ohm's law V = I x R, or I = V/R, wattage = Vsquared/R. Therefore for a given value of V, the bulb is made brighter by reducing R, the resistance of the filament.

That is called efficiency. An efficiency of 1 (or 100%) means that all the energy is converted into useful work.

1) It is a renewable energy that receives heat from the earths core so you know you will never run out of it.

2) Has no use of fossil fuels like other energy sources so their are no carbon emissions polluting our air.

Two ways to relase biomass energy is to burn biomass energy that is the most common way. Another way is, biomass can also be changed into liquid fuel.

Energy doesnt run out, it is just transferred. For example, a ball in a high place is said to have potential kinetic energy, if it then falls that energy is transferred to kinetic and thermal energy. Upon rest, the ball again has potential kinetic energy.

The majority of the energy on Earth comes from the Sun. Sunlight is converted into various forms of energy that power life on Earth, such as in photosynthesis for plants or solar power for electricity generation. Other sources of energy on Earth include geothermal energy from the Earth's heat and the energy stored in fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas.

The anaerobic pathways can provide energy quickly, but they are less efficient than aerobic pathways. For sustained energy needs, the aerobic pathways that utilize oxygen are more effective in producing energy. Anaerobic pathways can lead to the accumulation of lactic acid and fatigue over time.
