TEST REVIEW Resources and Energy
3
Energy Types: Can you match and discuss the +/- ? Chemical Electrical Mechanical Light (EM) Nuclear Heat Clean Renewable Sustainable Wind Geothermal Active Solar Biomass Passive Solar Coal, Oil, Natural Gas Hydrogen Fuel Cells Hydroelectric Tidal
4
Resources ≠ Reserves Resources – amounts of material that are known/ assumed to exist that can be extracted NOW or in the FUTURE for a POSSIBLE profit $ Reserves – known amounts of material that can PRESENTLY be extracted for a PROFIT – “proven”
5
Example of the Laws of Conservation of Matter and Thermodynamics Global Warming Acid Rain Smog Burning Coal = CO 2 + SO + H 2 0 + Ash + (C x H x S x O x ) Light + Noise + Heat Matter Cycles, Energy Flows

Solar Energy
11
Photovoltaic Cells 1.Sunlight strikes semi-conductor 2.Electrons move 3.Energy can be stored in battery Life is carbon- based for a reason Silicon atoms have the same capabilities http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K76r41jaGJg (1:07 mins)

How does a turbine generate electricity? What can be used to turn a turbine (which traditional/nonrenewable and renewable sources)? Turbines generate electricity the turbine spins, which spins a magnet within metal. Electrons from the metal atoms are affected by the magnet and are harnessed. Nonrenewables that turn steam from boiling water, that was boiled by burning: coal, oil, natural gas or nuclear fission Renewables that turn falling water, wind, tides, water boiled by: the sun, burning biomass/fuel/gas, geothermal energy
