'Energy' and 'power' are often confused, but aren't the same. Why do we say 'power plants' instead of energy plants'?

Answer:Both are important capabilities of a generator to keep the lights on.

Explanation:Power plants do provide both energy and power. Both are important capabilities of a generator to keep the lights on. And, in fact, power plants are rated, not by how much energy they produce, but by how much power they can produce, because if the grid does not have enough power generation capacity, it won’t work. It is arguably the more important parameter to specify in an electrical generation facility.

So, you could probably call them either power or energy plants. I do not know the history of why we chose to use power.

What is the effect of non-agricultural uses of land in the society
frutty [35]

Answer:

  • Land development creates impervious surfaces through construction of roads, parking lots, and other structures. Impervious surfaces:
  • Contribute to nonpoint source water pollution by limiting the capacity of soils to filter runoff.
  • Affect peak flow and water volume, which heighten erosion potential and affect habitat and water quality.
  • Increase storm water runoff, which can deliver more pollutants to water bodies that residents may rely on for drinking and recreation.1 Storm runoff from urban and suburban areas contains dirt, oils from road surfaces, nutrients from fertilizers, and various toxic compounds.
  • Affect ground water aquifer recharge.

Why might Christians say that the bible is NOT: <br><br><br> the word of god.
Amiraneli [1.4K]

I am not trying to offend anyone, but this is what I say: The Bible, (and therefor the Qur' an, Vedus, etc.) is nothing but a book. It was writen by a man, and a man only. My evidence is because there are alterations in every holy book of each major religion. There are some things that are taken out and rewriten to apease a ciertain religon's ways. Therefore implying that any religion's holy script is not the word of god.

Hope this helps! Tell me if there is somthing wrong. And again, I'm not trying to offend anyone.

Have a nice day!
