What is the difference between renewable and nonrenewable resources?

Renewable - infinite easy to renew; non renewable - finite because it takes too long to replenish

What is eutrophication?

too much nutrients in bodies of water that leads to algal bloom

Why should we use renewable energy?

It reduces greenhouse gas emissions, dependence on oil imports, and air pollution.

How do we generate energy/electricity from geothermal?

Hot groundwater>steam>turbine>generator

Give 3 properties of minerals.

Color, Streak, Hardness, Transparency, Luster, Crystal Structure, Crystal Habit, Cleavage, Specific gravity, magnetism, taste, effervescence, fluorescence

How do we generate energy/electricity from coal?

coal combustion>steam generation>turbine>generator

What will happen if the glaciers and ice caps will melt?

Sea level will rise; low-lying areas will submerge

What material/basis is used to identify the hardness of a mineral?

Moh's hardness scale

When limestone comes into contact with strong acids like HCl it forms small bubbles. What property is described.

Effervescence

How do we generate energy/electricity from hydropower?

moving water>turbine>generator

How do we generate energy/electricity from solar photovoltaic?

Sunlight>photons in the panel>electricity

What do we call rocks that can hold underground water?

Aquifers

How do we generate energy/electricity from nuclear?

Nuclear chain reaction>steam generation>turbine>generator

How does humans contribute to climate change?

carbon dioxide emissions

How do we generate energy/electricity from wind turbines?

solar>wind>turbine moves>generator

Give one advantage and disadvantage of mining

advantage-provides resources; cons- environmental degradation/ destruction of habitat

What is the difference between color and streak?

color - most obvious; streak - powder form of color

Process of extracting ores in the Earth’s crust.
