I need help answering simple environmental questions, the reason i cant complete the assigment myself is because of work , this document doesnt need a format or cite sources , just to answer the questions.
18. What is the global thermohaline current?
19. What is happening to the oceans as they absorb more and more atmospheric CO2?
20. What are two strategies for the mitigation of climate change?
21. Name three ways energy is wasted in the U.S.
22. What is one advantage of using natural gas for electricity generation?
23. How much CO2 are coal-fired power plants currently allowed to release per megawatt hour?
25. What is the difference between concentrated and photovoltaic solar power?
26. What country is #1 in wind power generation?
27. What is a geothermal gradient and how do we harness it for electricity generation?
28. Why does CO2 produced by biomass fuel not really contribute to the NET CO2 flux to the atmosphere?
29. What are some advantages to using algae to create fuel?
30. Googler: Tell me about a new battery breakthrough OR about hydrogen fuel cells
31. How does a sanitary landfill work (like, how is it designed to keep pollutants out of the environment)?
32. What’s one benefit of incinerating trash?
34. Can we ever re-use land that was once used as a landfill?
35. What do we do with the methane generated by decomposing trash?
36. What is industrial ecology?
37. T/F: using lead shot for hunting or lead sinkers for fishing does not negatively affect the environment.
38. What in the world do they do with liquid hazardous waste?
39. “Googler”: What are some harmful chemicals contained in E-waste?
40. “Googler”: NAME and DESCRIBE one example of a Superfund Project (don’t define Superfund Project, I want you to find a specific example of one!!).
