- the use of this resource results in generating waste products that may remain dangerous for thousands of years
- nuclear
- A disadvantage of harnassing this resource is that large fields have to be taken up with resource collecting equipment
- wind
- When decaying material is changed by pressure and bacteria to contain mostly hydrogen and carbon, this process is called
- carbonization
- the resource that can be conserved by recycling and reusing is
- water
- this resource can be classified as metallic and nonmetallic
- minerals
- nuclear fission is considered to be
- nonrenewable because uranium is a mineral ore and minerals are nonrenewable
- not considered environmentally friendly
- fossil fuels
- In order for nuclear fission to occur, nuclei of uranium is bombarded with
- neutrons
- this this type of resource canot be relied on to be a steady and consistent resource
- wind
- fuel rods used in nuclear fission are made up of pellets of
- uranium
- This resource is only found in solid form
- minerals
- different types of coal are made as the material undergoes increasing pressure; list the types in order of least pressure to most
- peat, lignite, bituminous, anthracite
- this resource is available in solid liquid and gas
- fossil fuels
- geothermal energy is all of the following except
- a lot of air pollution is produced with the rising levels of steam
- hot mineral solution can spread through cracks in the rock to form fingerlike bands called
- veins
- nuclear fusion is all of the following except
- uses uranium-238 as fuel
- this resource is found in ares called lodes or veins
- minerals
- in nuclear reactors, electricity is produced when turbines of generators are turned by
- steam
- water that is heated as it flows through hot rocks is a source of
- geothermal
- a greenhouse harnesses the solar energy by
- using a passive system
- The fossil fuels that have multiple uses such as the manufacturing of plastics, gasoline, kerosene, shampoos, and waxes, is/are
- petrolium
- a nuclear reactor
- uses water to run the turbines to produce elctricity
