Fossil Fuels and Alternative Energy Resource Worksheet Using the textbooks‚ the University Library‚ or other resources‚ answer each of the following questions in 150 to 200 words. 1. Select a fossil fuel. How is this fossil fuel used? What are the adverse effects on the environment? The fossil fuel I would like to use and is the most popular fossil fuel would be oil. Oil is used into things like gasoline‚ which is used for very much all of our transportation needs still now and those in the past

Alternatives to Destruction Gas prices got you down? They should. However‚ the rise in petroleum prices is the least of my worries. Our nation ’s supply of fossil fuels is running out and we ’re doing more damage to our environment than humanly reversible. Now it ’s time for the good news‚ there are alternatives and loads of them. Legislation from federal and state governments along with biofuels are constantly being introduced and researched to the betterment of the environment. These alternatives

Energy and Fossil Fuels January 30‚ 2012 I will be covering different types of energy and how they are converted into other forms of energy. I will also discuss what fossil fuels are‚ alternatives to fossil fuels and the advantages and disadvantages of alternatives. There are several different forms of energy and how it can be converted from one type to another. According to The Law of Conservation of Energy; energy can neither be created or destroyed‚ only transferred

assess personal energy use and speak about the forms of energy that I currently rely on and the sources they originate from. It also talks about renewable energy sources that would be most and least appropriate to use in a certain location. Then it refers to the advantages and disadvantages of the energy source that I currently use‚ also about renewable ones that have been identified. The last part of the paper addresses energy conservation and its impacts on the environment. Energy is embodied in

Hydrogen Fuel As An Alternative Energy Source To Replace Fossil Fuels Since the beginning of industry humans have been in search of fuel to power machines and generate energy. Fossil fuels‚ such as crude oil and coal‚ discovered beneath the Earth’s surface were found to be an excellent source of fuel. These fossil fuels are burnt in order to generate the energy required to complete various tasks. Many nations count on coal‚ oil and natural gas to supply most of their energy needs‚ but reliance

Assignment #1 SCI 110 Strayer University July 2011 Assignment #1 SCI 110 First discuss how energy can be converted from one form to another‚ giving specific example: There are two types of energy conversion‚ potential and kinetic. Potential energy can be converted to kinetic and vice versa (Tillery‚ Enger‚ & Ross‚ 2009‚ p. 63). Any form of energy can be converted to another form of energy. Energy conversion is evident in the following conversions-a light bulb converts electrical

Alternative Energy: The correct response to diminishing fossil fuels In 1977‚ the President of the United States of America‚ Jimmy Carter‚ advocated for the use of alternative energy to the American people “because we are now running out of gas and oil‚ we must prepare quickly to strict conservation [of fossil fuels] and to the use of coal and permanent renewable energy sources‚ like solar power.” More than thirty years later his announcement still rings true and is relevant. In fact‚ the current

These fossil fuels are burnt in order to generate the energy required to complete various tasks. However‚ we are now realizing the problems that are created by using fossil fuels to generate energy. These problems are so great that they will force humans to find an alternative source of energy in order to avoid

essential difference between alternative energies (AE) and fossil fuels? Alternative energies will not have a lot of pollution‚ but fossil fuels will cause some pollution of the environment. Some fossil fuels causes environmental pollution‚ for example‚ global climate change‚ a lot of carbon dioxide cause the greenhouse effect‚ acid rain emissions of harmful gases cause serious pollution to the atmosphere. 2/ name the AE that you have chosen to research.
