Across
  1. 3. The clearing of forests, depletes carbon sink that trees act as (taking in CO2 for photosynthesis)
  2. 11. effect of climate change, rising ocean levels due to melting land ice and thermal expansion of ocean water
  3. 13. energy produced by turbines and moving air, take up a lot of space, danger to birds
  4. 14. Has grown exponentially since industrial revolution, creates greater need for energy / resources
  5. 15. Energy produced by harnessing the Sun's radiation, solar panels are used to store and create energy, expenisve, only work in certain areas
  6. 16. GAS fossil fuel, invisible and flammable, fracking used to extract from the Earth
  7. 18. Raising and growing of animals, contributes to climate change through large amounts of methane generated
  8. 19. solid rock, fossil fuel, formed from ancient plant remains, creates the most pollution, mined out of the Earth
Down
  1. 1. Energy produced from the movement of water
  2. 2. includes carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, water vapor, and ozone
  3. 4. power generated from splitting an atom (fission), Uranium typically used
  4. 5. Coal Oil or Natural Gas
  5. 6. Caused by greenhouse gasses released by fossil fuels that trap heat in the atmosphere
  6. 7. Energy produced from heat within the Earth, uses steam to generate electricity
  7. 8. Radioactive element commonly used to generate nuclear power
  8. 9. Energy from living or recently living organisms, ex-firewood, ethanol fuel from crops, waste to energy
  9. 10. Resources that are in limited supply. Bad for the environment, cheap, easy to store/transport
  10. 12. Resources that exist in unlimited supply, good for the environment
  11. 17. liquid fossil fuel, aka petroleum, used to power cars, planes, factories, etc.
