Science G6 Geology Flashcards
What are the main types of electricity?
Static and Current electricity
What are the disadvantages of static electricity.
Electrostatic sparks may have enough energy to produce electric shocks, cause electronic damage, spoil mechanical components, disrupt production processes, and generate fires and explosions.
What are the disadvantages of
Using electric current has both cost and environmental downsides. Cooling systems are needed because of energy loss, leading to higher costs. It can also harm the environment, especially when it’s from non-renewable sources. Solar panels, on the other hand, save money and are better for the planet
What are non-renewable resources?
Nonrenewable Resources
There are four major types of nonrenewable resources: oil, natural gas, coal, and nuclear energy
What are renewable resources?
Renewable energy is energy derived from natural sources that are replenished at a higher rate than they are consumed. Sunlight and wind, for example, are such sources that are constantly being replenished.
What is hydro electricity?
Water that is converted into electricity.
