Answer:

Carbonate rocks

Explanation:

The acid test is usually performed by the geologists. It is done by pouring a few drops of dilute hydrochloric acid (HCl) on a rock sample (mineral sample). While doing this, if some bubbles of Carbon dioxide gas (CO₂) is released then it indicates that the sample is a Carbonate rock or mineral. These minerals can be calcite, dolomite, or any one of them.

Some of the rocks comprised of this Carbonate minerals are Limestone and dolomite.

Thus, this acid test is very important in the field to identify if a rock is carbonate or not.

Answer:

tidal power

Tidal power or tidal energy is harnessed by converting energy from tides into useful forms of power, mainly electricity using various methods. Although not yet widely used, tidal energy has the potential for future electricity generation. Tides are more predictable than the wind and the sun.

Ocean thermal energy conservation

Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is a marine renewable energy technology that harnesses the solar energy absorbed by the oceans to generate electric power. ... OTEC uses the ocean's warm surface water with a temperature of around 25°C (77°F) to vaporize a working fluid, which has a low-boiling point, such as ammonia.

hydrogen fuel

Hydrogen fuel cells produce electricity by combining hydrogen and oxygen atoms. The hydrogen reacts with oxygen across an electrochemical cell similar to that of a battery to produce electricity, water, and small amounts of heat. Many different types of fuel cells are available for a wide range of applications

fuel cell

Fuel cells work like batteries, but they do not run down or need recharging. They produce electricity and heat as long as fuel is supplied. A fuel cell consists of two electrodes—a negative electrode (or anode) and a positive electrode (or cathode)—sandwiched around an electrolyte.

Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency simply means using less energy to perform the same task – that is, eliminating energy waste. Energy efficiency brings a variety of benefits: reducing greenhouse gas emissions, reducing demand for energy imports, and lowering our costs on a household and economy-wide level.

Hybrids

a hybrid is the offspring resulting from combining the qualities of two organisms of different breeds, varieties, species or genera through sexual reproduction.

Bovid Hybrids. Zubron - hybrid of domestic cattle and european bison

cogeneration

Cogeneration—also known as combined heat and power, distributed generation, or recycled energy—is the simultaneous production of two or more forms of energy from a single fuel source. Cogeneration power plants often operate at 50 to 70 percent higher efficiency rates than single-generation facilities
