7. Fossil Fuels. Definition:. Types:. 1. 2. 3
Fossil Fuels Definition: Types: ***Non Renewable Resource Hydrocarbon Definition:

8. 1. Coal (solid, most plentiful Fossil Fuel)
Formation:
(Plant-Peat-Coal)
Begins as decomposing plant matter (swamp plants die and build up)
Plants become PEAT (can be burned-not as efficient as coal)
Peat becomes Coal (lots of pressure/years and lots of energy)
Advantages:
Once found, can be mined and easily transported (23% of fuel in US-mainly electrical plants)
Disadvantages:
Danger of mining, increases erosion, water pollution from runoff, air pollution from burning

9. Advantages vs. Disadvantages ???

11. Oil (Petroleum)
Advantages vs. Disadvantages ??? Refinery Definition: Petrochemicals Examples:

12. Oil Production (p. 162)
Crude oil is first pumped out of the ground and then refined. In the refining process, crude oil is heated and separated to make different products.

13. Advantages vs. Disadvantages ???

14. Fuels and Electricity
The circle graph shows which energy sources are used to produce electricity in the United States.

15. Reading Graphs:
What does each wedge of the circle represent?
The percentage of total U.S. electricity that is produced using the labeled energy source

16. Interpreting Data:
Which energy source is used to generate most of the electricity in the United States?
Coal

17. Drawing Conclusions:
What percentage of the electricity production in the United States relies on fossil fuels?
70.8% (59.3% coal, 9.3% natural gas, 2.2% petroleum)

18. Predicting:
How might the circle graph differ 50 years from now? Give reasons to support your prediction.
Coal, petroleum, and natural gas might decrease because they are in limited supply; nuclear and hydroelectric energy sources might increase to replace fossil fuels.

19. Key Concepts
When fuels are burned, the chemical energy that is released can be used to generate another form of energy, such as heat, light, motion or electricity.
The 3 major fossil fuels are coal, oil, and natural gas.
Since fossil fuels take hundreds of millions of years to form, they are considered nonrenewable resources.

20. Target Reading Skill (p. 158)
Building Vocabulary:
Using a word in a sentence helps you think about how best to explain the word. After you read the section, reread the paragraphs that contain Vocabulary words. Use the information you have learned to write a meaningful sentence using each word.

21. Building Vocabulary Key Terms: Examples: Key Terms: Examples:
petrochemicals
Petrochemicals, which are also made from oil, are used to make medicines, plastics, paints, and cosmetics.
Key Terms:
Examples:
energy transformation
combustion
fuel
An example of energy transformation is combustion, when a fuel is burned and chemical energy is released.
petroleum
fossil fuels
hydrocarbons
Oil, also called petroleum, is one of the fossil fuels, which are made up of energy-rich hydrocarbons.
refinery
Many products that come from oil are produced in a refinery, where oil is heated and separated.

power plants???

25. Passive Solar Heating vs. Active Solar Heating

27. Solar House Q. How does the house capture solar energy?
A. Active solar collectors on the roof, large windows on the south and west sides that act as passive solar collectors
Q. What does the equipment that is on the roof do?
A. Active solar cells on the roof generate electricity that can be stored in a battery in the basement.
Q. What is the difference between active and passive solar heating systems?
A. Both convert sunlight into thermal energy, but only active systems use pumps and fans to distribute heat.

Nucleus
Nuclear Fission
Controlled Chain Reaction
Uncontrolled Chain Reaction
Nuclear Fusion

36. “Nuclear Energy” Fission and Fusion

38. What is a nucleus?
What is in a nucleus?

39. Nuclear Fission What is a “Chain Reaction?”
Give an example of a controlled and uncontrolled chain reaction
Controlled = ___________________
Uncontrolled = _________________

40. Nuclear Power Plant

41. Atomic Bomb

42. Nuclear Fusion
What 2 nuclei combine with nuclear fusion?

44. Compare and Contrast
Fission Both Fusion

45. Key Concepts
During nuclear fission, when a neutron hits a U-235 nucleus, the nucleus splits apart into 2 smaller nuclei and 2 or more neutrons.
In a nuclear power plant, the heat released form fission reactions is used to change water into steam, which turns the blades of a turbine to generate electricity.
In nuclear fusion, 2 H nuclei combine to create a He nucleus, which has slightly less mass than the 2 H nuclei. The lost mass is converted to energy.

46. Vocabulary – “Energy Conservation” (Chapter 5 – Section 4)
