mean by fossil fuels and explain why they are an attractive source of energy: Fossil fuels are energy sources such as petroleum‚ natural gas‚ and coal which contain the stored radiant energy of organisms that lived millions of years ago (Tillery‚ Enger‚ & Ross‚ 2009‚ p. 67). Fossil fuels are an attractive source of energy because they are accessible and cheap. Describe two different energy alternatives to fossil fuels in detail. Discuss how they work‚ how they compare with fossil fuels‚

our country ’s continuous use of fossil fuels is endangering to nature and the wildlife it inhabits as well as the environment that we live in. Our society seems to think that fossil fuels we use in excess today will last forever but actuality will one day be depleted to unrepairable measures‚ which is why we need a cleaner more environmentally friendly substitute. With that said my paper is going to underline how our society would be able to transfer from fossil fuels to cleaner energies which are

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 on fossil fuels presents a big problem. Fossil fuels

Throughout the entire history of mankind‚ the technological advancements that civilisations have made have always been tied in with the development of energy sources. The first human energy technology was fire‚ along with human labour as the major energy source. This has bee supplemented by animals for agriculture and transportation since at least the dawn of agriculture some 10‚000 years ago. Wind and waterpower for milling grain have also been used nearly as long. The development of the steam

This essay is compared Nuclear power against Fossil Fuels . In this essay ‚ I will show efficency of the Nuclear energy compared to Fossil Fuels. First of all ‚ Nuclear power is the use of sustained nuclear fission to generate heat and electricity. Nuclear power plants provided about 5.7% of the world’s energy and 13% of the world’s electricity.The IAEA( International Atomic Energy Agency ) reported there were 439 nuclear power reactors in operation in the world‚ operating in 31 countries.

Identify three renewable energy sources and assess their potential to replace fossil fuel The rapid depletion of fossil fuels has given serious warning that the era of using conventional energy is coming to an end. Due to the energy shortage‚ a need to find replacement of fossil fuels has appeared. Moreover‚ problems such as various pollution and serious climate change have occurred‚ which makes renewable and less pollution energy source alternative choices. Therefore‚ three options can be suggested

After experiencing the replacement of manual and animal labour by steam engines in the Industrial Revolution‚ cheap fossil fuels then became the main source of energy. However‚ faced with the notable increase demand for energy‚ fossil fuel‚ as a non-renewable resource becomes scarcer and more expensive nowadays. To solve this problem‚ the world needs to replace fossil fuels with other sources of energy which are relatively low-cost and more secure. Renewable energy is such a potential energy. This

especially when it included fossil activities‚ had me doing earth science activities for kids from the time my own children were little ones. So when my middle school asked me to pick something to teach for six weeks that I just enjoyed‚ this was the first thing that came to mind. It was set up to be more like a club than a class‚ so while there were definitely learning goals‚ the most important goal was to have fun and enjoy ourselves.
