AI Explain

• Energy Resource


  A useful supply or source of energy
• Fossil Fuels


  A non-renewable energy source derived from ancient plants and animals. Examples: coal, oil, natural gas.
• Bio-fuels


  A renewable energy source produced from organic matter. Can generate electricity or power vehicles. Examples: ethanol from plants, agricultural waste.
• Geothermal


  A renewable energy source harnessing heat from the Earth's interior to generate electricity. Hot water or steam is tapped from underground reservoirs.
• Solar Energy


  A renewable energy source that uses photovoltaic cells (PVs) to convert sunlight into electricity. Solar panels generate electricity.
• Carbon Monoxide


  A toxic gas produced by the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, deadly in high concentrations
• Carbon Dioxide


  A natural part of the Earth's atmosphere, released during the burning of fossil fuels and bio-fuels, major contributor to climate change and global warming
• Fossils - Remains


  Focuses on the physical matter left behind after death or decay
• Fossils - Bio


  Refers to the biological origins of the fuel or the presence of living organisms
• Burning Bio-Fuels


  Burning fuels produced from organic matter, like plants, animals, or microorganisms. Examples: ethanol from corn or sugarcane, biodiesel from soybeans or sunflowers.
• Burning Fossil Fuels


  Burning fuels formed from ancient plants and animals that have been buried for millions of years. Examples: coal, oil, and natural gas.
• Carbon Neutral


  A process that releases the same amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as the amount absorbed by the crops during their growth.
• Convection


  The transfer of heat through a moving liquid or gas due to density differences.
• Conduction


  Heat transfer through direct physical contact
• Convection


  Heat transfer through the movement of fluids (air, water, etc.)
• Radiation


  Heat transfer through electromagnetic waves (infrared, visible, ultraviolet, etc.) without physical contact
