13. WHAT ARE SOME WAYS TO CONSERVE ENERGY?
Turn off lights when you leave the room.
Unplug electronics when not in use.
If it’s yellow keep it mellow, if it’s brown flush it down Use rain water
Water plants at night

14. LIST AL L THE ALTERNATIVE ENERGY RESOURCES THAT ARE RENEWABLE AND GIVE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
![Page 4: Ecology](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816939550346895de0a529/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
A. SOLAR ENERGY energy from the sun in the form of
radiation.
![Page 5: Ecology](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816939550346895de0a529/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Solar power plants that can produce large amounts of electricity instead
of for one house.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF SOLAR ENERGY- 2 OF EACH
Advantages: Can be used directly for heat Doesn’t produce pollution
Disadvantages: Expensive to set up We do not have the correct technology to
produce enough electrical energy that we need

B. HYDROELECTRICITY
electrical energy produced from falling water.
Spins a turbine

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGE OF HYDROELECTRICITY?
3 OF EACHAdvantages include:
Causes little pollution Gives off significant amounts of energy Could reduce the amount of fossil fuels used
Disadvantages of include: You must be near a water source You must build dams and they create erosion
problems and decrease water quality Large numbers of fish die due to dams as
well as destroys forests and wildlife habitats
![Page 12: Ecology](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816939550346895de0a529/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
C. GEOTHERMAL ENERGY Energy found deep
within the earth; usually comes to the
surface of the earth as geysers, natural vents, or wells drilled in rocks.
![Page 13: Ecology](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816939550346895de0a529/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE AND DISADVANTAGES OF WIND ENERGY?
Advantages: - 2 can generate significant amounts of energy Doesn’t cause pollution
Disadvantages:- 1 Unreliable due to wind that isn’t strong enough or
frequent enough to depend on
![Page 16: Ecology](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816939550346895de0a529/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
D. WIND ENERGYEnergy that is an indirect form of solar energy
through unequal heating of air. To harness wind energy you need windmills. Windmills put
together are called wind farms
![Page 17: Ecology](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816939550346895de0a529/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
•Wind is free, wind farms need no fuel.
•Produces no waste or greenhouse gases.
•The land beneath can usually still be used for farming.
•Wind farms can be tourist attractions.
•A good method of supplying energy to remote areas.
![Page 18: Ecology](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816939550346895de0a529/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
•The wind is not always predictable – some days have no wind.
•Suitable areas for wind farms are often near the coast, where land is expensive.
• Noisy. A wind generator makes a constant, low, "swooshing" noise day and night. An entire wind farm makes quite a racket!
•Can kill birds - migrating flocks tend to like strong winds. Splat!

E. NUCLEAR ENERGYThe energy released by a
fission or fusion reaction between atoms.
WARNING: NOT RENEWABLE
![Page 20: Ecology](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816939550346895de0a529/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF NUCLEAR ENERGY?
Advantages: (1) Very powerful
Disadvantages: (2) Produce dangerous radioactive wastes Needs special environments to be safe
![Page 21: Ecology](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816939550346895de0a529/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF BIOMASSAdvantage: (1)it is renewable and can be inexpensive.
Disadvantage: (2)it requires land to grow it does not produce enough energy to keep up with our needs.
![Page 22: Ecology](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816939550346895de0a529/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
F. Biomass – Fuels made from once living material.
![Page 23: Ecology](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816939550346895de0a529/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Biomass is the second most common form of renewable energy.

15. EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RENEWABLE AND NONRENEWABLE RESOURCES
Renewable resources can be
replaced within our lifetime while nonrenewable
resources can not.

energy originally from the sun that
has been absorbed by living organisms

21. SEA-FLOOR SPREADING
The process by which new lithosphere forms as
magma rises toward the surface of the oceanic
crust and solidifies. This usually takes place at the
mid-ocean ridge.
![Page 34: Ecology](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816939550346895de0a529/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

The Mid-Ocean Ridge system, shown above snaking its way between the
continents, is more than 56,000 kilometers (35,000 mi) long. It circles the earth like
the stitching on a baseball!

22. WHAT ARE THE THREE TYPES OF PLATE BOUNDARIES?
1. Convergent – where plates are moving toward one another
2. Divergent – where plates are moving away from one another
3. Transform – where plates are sliding horizontally past one another
![Page 39: Ecology](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816939550346895de0a529/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
WHAT TYPE OF LANDFORMS DO THE PLATE BOUNDARIES CREATE?
1. Convergent- mountains, volcanoes, trenches, islands
2. Divergent- rift valleys, midocean ridges
3. Transform- earthquakes and faults

The place where two plates move apart or diverge is called a divergent boundary.
