Is wave power efficient?
wave power is efficient.
Some of a sound wave's energy dissipates as heat In time this will reduce the wave's?
Amplitude
Is wave power energy green?
Yes, wave power is a green source of energy.
When was Siadar Wave Power Station created?
Siadar Wave Power Station was created in 2011.
What does Electronmagnetic wave means?
An electromagnetic wave is a wave that is generated by the power of electric and magnetic fields.
Is carbon offsets is a good way to reduce greenhouse gases?
Well, they do reduce greenhouse gases, but you pay someone else to do it for you. So you can pay a farmer to plant trees and continue to let your factory burn oil. Let's hope the farmer keeps putting the prices up, and the factory owner moves to renewable energy (solar, wind, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal and biofuel).
What gases in the earth's atmosphere reflect heat?
None. No gases reflect heat.Heat from the Sun arrives as short-wave energy and passes right through the greenhouse gases and heats the earth.This heat is emitted back up as long-wave energy. Long-wave energy is blocked by greenhouse gases, which absorb it and do not let it pass into the upper atmosphere and beyond.These greenhouse gases include:water vapor, the most plentiful gas,carbon dioxide,methane,nitrous oxide,chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs),hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) andPerfluorocarbons (PFCs)Other minor gases might be included, as well.
What happens to the size of the waves when reflected in the greenhouse effect?
Visible light radiation comes to us from the sun in the form of short wave ultraviolet light. This warms the surface of the earth. This warmth rises into the atmosphere in the form of infrared, long wave radiation, where it is captured by greenhouse gases in the greenhouse effect.
Why are wave turbines good for the environment?
Because they turn the renewable power of the waves into clean green electricity, which has no polluting emissions of greenhouse gases that come from using fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
What makes a greenhouse gas?
Greenhouse gases absorb infrared radiation, which means they trap heat. Nitrogen and oxygen tend to be thermodynamically inert, meaning they let the heat escape. Water vapor, methane, and carbon dioxide absorb long wave solar radiation, which helps keep the earth warm.
What are the main arguments offered in favor of global warming in the debate as to whether it exists?
it is the greenhouse gases, and a grennhouse gases is. a greenhouse gas have the ability to pick up and send out ( a part of ) the long wave heat radiation while allowing the major part of the shot wave to pass. log wave is this context means radiation having a wavelength of 3 to 100 micrometers ( microns) short wave in this context means radiation having a wavelength of approx. Form 290 ti 3000 m ( nanometers)
What is a greenhouse gas that is not carbon dioxide?
Methane, which comes from the stomachs of cattle and sheep, from thawing tundra, from food rotting in landfill and from drilling for oil and mining, is a greenhouse gas that is much more dangerous than carbon dioxide.A:The most prevalent and common greenhouse gas is water vapor, which accounts for up to 75% of all greenhouse warming. Methane accounts for well under 1% of the overall effect.
What is the result of greenhouse gases?
When we stop burning fossil fuels to generate electricity, but instead use renewable sources of energy like solar, hydro, wind, wave, tidal, geothermal and biofuel then there will be far fewer greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere.
What are some valid methods in reducing greenhouse gases?
The only valid method for reducing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is afforestation, planting billions of trees to replace the destroyed forests.Other things that will help by stopping addingto the greenhouse gases include stopping burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity.And changing entirely to renewable energy (solar, wind, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal among others).
Is H20 a greenhouse gas?
No actually water is quite the opposite of a grrenhouse gas. Water acts like a giant sink that collects all the greenhouse gases in the air and buries it in the ocean. This is not very good for the fish and other animals that live in the sea becouse the gases that the water collects can poison the animals. This happens the same way that humans can get sick becouse of the dirty air. Sea animals breathe the water through their gills and the greenhouse gases that are in the water poison the animals.
Does nuclear energy release greenhouse effects?
Yes.Most power plants burn fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas) to generate electricity and so contribute to global warming.Burning of these fuels releases long-hidden carbon dioxide (CO2) which adds to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The natural carbon cycle and the natural greenhouse effect are being overwhelmed by this extra gas. The carbon cycle can only distribute about half of it. The greenhouse effect has become an accelerated greenhouse effect, warming the planet.Power plants like nuclear, hydro, solar, wind, wave, tidal, and geothermal do not release CO2. Biofuel plants release CO2, but as it was only captured during the growing season of the fuel, it is part of the carbon cycle, so it is carbon neutral. None of these renewable energy power plants contribute to global warming.
What are the greenhouses gasses?
the names of green house gases are :- water vapour carbon dioxide methane ozone Any gas with three or more atomes is considered a green house gas. Water vapor makes up about 80% of all green house gas.
