Energy in Earth Systems- final Exam 1




Nonrenewable energy is from the decompotion of plants and animals. These are known as fossil fuels and we use these to power our cars, heat our house, and use to make the stu we use in every day life. However renewable is not the same as fossil fuels. It is a much newer way to power things and comes rom windturbines, solar raditation rom the sun ect. As a start renewable energy is put into hybrid cars and is only run on electricity.(1)

The earth has a closed system which allows energy to change. Most of the energy from the sun gets absorbed but some of the energy gets bounced back to space. The energy absorbed becomes used into other forms of energy.(2)

Coduction occusrs when heat flows threw a solid or a liquid and causes the elctrons to vibrate. The vibration causes them to heat up and change there state. Convection is when liquid is on a hot surface and heats up into a gas much faster than normal. Radiation comes from the sun and is absob by the earth and used to crate energy.(3)
