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