Q

What is solar energy and what is it used for ??

A

Solar energy is radiant light from the sun harnessed using a range of ever evolving technologies
And it is used to heat water and make electricity

24
Q

Wha is tidal energy caused by and used for??

A

It is caused by the pull of gravity of the sun and moon

The movement of tidal through a barrage can be used to make electricity

25
What is biomass ??
Plants from which we get energy e.g cutting down trees and burning them
26
Should electricity be added to the list of large scale energy sources ??
No, because electricity is generated from the sources
27
Why are oil,coal and gas fossil fuels ??
Because the materials must be formed from dead fossils
28
Explain the difference between renewable and non renewable energy sources
Renewable energy will never run out where as non-renewable energy will
29
Explain the difference between polluting and non polluting energy sources
Polluting adds harmful substances to the environment where ass non polluting does not
30
Is oil Non renewable or renewable
Non renewable
31
Define energy
Energy is what we need to make things happen
32
What is global warming ??
A gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earths atmosphere.
33
List 3 effects the global warming is having on the earth
Ice is melting worldwide Sea level rise becoming faster Coral bleaching
34
List 2 ways in which we could ensure that we do not waste energy
Turn of plugs after using | Energy saving lights
35
Name a long term solution in reducing our greenhouse gas emissions is to use alternative energy sources
solar panels
36
Why is there an energy problem in the world today??
Our energy comes mostly form coal oil and gas which are non renewable resources which will soon run out so we need to save energy and rely more on renewable sources
37
Nearly all energy comes from the ____
Sun
38
In what unit should we measure heat energy ??
Joules (j)
39
In what unit do we measure temperature ??
Degrees Celsius
40
Temperature is a measure of how ____ something is | Thermal energy is the energy needed to ____ the temperature of a thing
Hot | Change
41
Is thermal energy the same as temperature ??
No
42
Name 2 everyday situations in which heat is transferred
Kettle-water | Hair straighteners- hair
43

44
In general _______ are good thermal conductors
Metals
45
If heat energy cannot travel quickly along a material, that material is called a .......
Good thermal insulator
46
In general _______ are good thermal insulators
Non metals
47
Trapped air is the _____ thermal _______ and ______ ________ conductor
Best Insulator Thermal
48
Give some examples of materials which are good insulators because of the air they trap
Fleesy coasts | Duvet
49
Oh what direction does hot water travel ??
Up
50
In what way does cold water travel??
Down
51
_________ is the flow of heat through a liquid or a gas by upward movement of the particles of the substance
Convection
52
What is radiation ??
Radiation is the flow of heat by means of waves
53
Dull, black surfaces are good ______ of radiation
Absorbers
54
Light coloured, shiny surfaces are good ______ of radiation
Reflectors
55
Light coloured, shiny surfaces are _____ ________ or radiation
Poor emiters
56
Our electricity is generated in power stations which burn coal or air. We also burn these fuels when we heat our homes. What gas is produced in large amounts when these fuels are burned ??
Carbon dioxide
57
How does carbon dioxide Damage the environment ??
Because it pollutes the air and let's out more greenhouse gases which leads to global warming.
