Chapter 14: Resources
17
Biodiversity: The number of species within a specific habitat
Biomass fuel: Fuel that derives from plant material and animal waste
Breeder reactor: A nuclear power plant that creates its own fuel from plutonium
Fission: The splitting of an atomic nucleus to release energy
Fossil fuel: Energy source formed from the residue of plants and animals buried millions of years ago
Fusion: Creation of energy by joining the nuclei of two hydrogen atoms to form helium
Geothermal energy: Energy from steam or hot water produced from hot or molten underground rocks
Greenhouse effect: Anticipated increase in the earth's temperature caused by carbon dioxide trapping some of the radiation emitted by the surface
Hydroelectric power: Power generated from moving water
Inanimate power: Power supplied by machines
Nonferrous: Metals utilized to make products other than iron and steel
Ozone: A form of oxygen that has three oxygen atoms in each molecule instead of two. protects us from dangerous ultraviolet radiation from the sun
Pollution: Undesirable state of the natural environment being contaminated with harmful substances as a consequence of human activities
Preservation: Maintenance of a resource in its present condition, with as little human impact as possible.
Radioactive waste: A byproduct of nuclear energy that is highly volatile and dangerous to the population.
Recycling: the act of processing used or abandoned materials for use in creating new products
Renewable energy: Any source of energy that can be continually produced and is inexhaustible given current conditions.
Sanitary Landfill: A place to deposit solid waste, where a layer of earth is bulldozed over garbage each day to reduce emissions of gases and odors from the decaying trash, to minimize fires, and to discourage vermin.
Sustainable Development: Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
