Chapter 11 Flashcards
The accumulation of acids on the earth surface
Acid deposition
Conversion of sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides to acids that return to earth as rain snow or fog
Acid precipitation
Solar radiation captured with photovoltaic cells that convert light energy into electrical energy
Active solar energy
Concentration of tray substances such as carbon monoxide sulfur dioxide nitrogen oxide hydrocarbons and solid particulates at a greater level then occurs in average air
Air pollution
Power supplied by animals or by people
Animate power
The amount of oxygen required by aquatic bacteria to decompose a given load of organic waste a measure of water pollution
Biochemical oxygen demand
Fuel drive from one plant material or animal waste
Biomass fuel
A location where I transfer as possible from one mode of transportation to another
Break of bulk point
And industry in which the final product where is Meyer or comprises a greater value than the inputs
Bulk gaining industry
And industry in which the final product weighs less or comprises a lower volume than the inputs
Bulk reducing industry
I guess used as a solvent a propellant in aerosol is a refrigerant and in plastic films and Fire extinguishers
Chlorofluorocarbon
Do use of water that evaporates rather than being returned to nature as a liquid
Consumptive Water usage
Manufacturing based in homes rather than in factories most common prior to the industrial revolution
Cottage industry
The Quantity of something that people wish to consume and are able to buy
Demand
The splitting of an atomic nuclear us to release energy
Fission 
A form of mass production in which each worker is assigned one specific task to perform repeatedly
Fordist production
And energy sourced Formed from residue of plants and animals buried millions of years ago
Fossil fuel
Creation of energy by joining the nuclear of two hydrogen atoms to form helium
Fusion
Energy from steam or hot water produced from hot or molten underground rocks
Geothermal energy
Shipment of parts in materials to arrive at a factory moments before they are needed
Just in time delivery
And industry for wage labor costs comprise a high percentage of total expenses
Labor-intensive industry
A factory built by a US company in Mexico near the US border to take advantage of the much lower labor cost in Mexico
Maquiladora
Transfer of some types of jobs especially those requiring low paid less skilled workers from more developed to less developing countries
New international division of labor
Do you serve water that is returned to nature as a liquid
Non-consumptive water usage
Pollution that originates from a large diffuse area
Nonpoint source pollution
A source of energy that has a finite supply capable of being exhausted
Nonrenewable energy
A decision by corporation to turn over much of the responsibility for production to independent suppliers
Outsourcing
I guess that absorbs ultraviolet solar radiation is found in the stratosphere About 15 to 50 km above the earth surface
Ozone
Solar energy systems that collect energy without the use of mechanical devices
Passive solar energy systems
An atmospheric condition formed through a combination of weather conditions in pollution especially from motor vehicle emissions
Photo chemical smog
Pollution that enters a body of water from a specific source
Point source pollution
Concentration of waste added to air water or land at a greater level than occurs in average air water or land
Pollution
Adoption by companies of flexible work roles such as the allocation of workers to teams that perform a variety of tasks
Post Ford production
The amount of a resource in deposits not yet identified but thought to exist
Potential reserve
The separation collection processing marketing and reuse of unwanted material
Recycling
The rebuilding of a product to specifications of the original manufactured product using a combination of reused and repaired and new Parts
Remanufactured
Hey source of energy that has a theoretically unlimited supply and is not depleted when used by people
Renewable energy
Are US law that prevents a union and a company from negotiating a contract that requires workers to join the union as a condition of employment
Right to work law
A place to deposit solid waste where layer of earth is bulldozed over garbage each day to reduce emissions of gases and orders from the Decaying trash to minimize fires and discourage vermin
Sanitary landfill
Location factors related to the cast of factors of production inside a plant such as land labor and capital
Site Factors
Location factors related to the transportation of materials into and from a factory
Situation factors
The quantity of something that producers have available for sale
Supply
An approach typical of traditional mass production in which a company controls all phases of a highly complex production process
Vertical integration
