Do you think geothermal energy is a renewable resource? Why or why not? What are the benefits of using this energy to power home

s and businesses? Can you think of any consequences to communities or the surrounding environment?

Geothermal is a renewable energy, because it is from the heat produced by the earth. The earth gets heat from the sun, which will be there for the next million of years. Geothermal has benefits, because if we harness the use of it, instead of mining out all of our coal and oil, we can use this for a long run, and only leave non-renewable energy resources for backup. However, there are consequences to communities and surroundings. The geothermal only benefits when the earth is warm. When the earth becomes too warm, we wouldn't even need the energy anymore cuz everythings dead. So we can use this, but overall we must try to lower the amount of resources that produce this thing as possible.. ( use other renewable energy)

hope this helps

Answer:

Yes, Geothermal energy is a renewable source.

Explanation:

Geothermal energy is a renewable source because its source is generated unlimited amount of heat by the earth core. It is a sustainable energy source. It is also a non-renewable source because it can be re-used multiple times again and again and looses its ability to create energy.

It is the excellent energy for the meetings, because it opposes to other renewable sources such as wind and solar energy. Great for heating and cooling and used in even small households can benefit. Geothermal energy has been used for thousand of years in some countries like turkey, unites states, new zealand and japan for heating and cooling. It cost less fluctuation and stable electricity prizes.

Yes, its consequences is very bad to communities or surrounding environments because it involves no combustion. So, the level of air pollutants they emit are low. It emits 97% low acid rain which causing sulfur compounds and 82% of green house gases.

The control for a complementation test, which is often omitted, is the:
Degger [83]

Answer:

b. cis test

Explanation:

A test that is used to determine if the mutation associated with a given phenotype is due to mutations in two different genes or due to different alleles of the same gene is called a complementation test.

A complementation test is also called as a cis-trans test.

If the mutations in a complementation test are located on the same position then the genes are termed as being on the cis position otherwise on the trans-position.

A cis test, that is if the genes are located on the same position serves as a control for the complementation test.

Going down each trophic level on the pyramid results in a 90% decrease in that energy transfer. True False.
aleksklad [387]
That statement is true because The amount of energy at each trophic level decreases as it moves through an ecosystem at least is 10% of the energy at any traffic levels transferred to the next level the rest is lost largely through the metabolic process as heat.

1 - 2 paragraphs describing the full carbon cycle I NEED THIS ASAP PLZ
stepladder [879]

Answer: There are a few types of atoms that can be a part of a plant one day, an animal the next day, and then travel downstream as a part of a river’s water the following day. These atoms can be a part of both living things like plants and animals, as well as non-living things like water, air, and even rocks. The same atoms are recycled over and over in different parts of the Earth. This type of cycle of atoms between living and non-living things is known as a biogeochemical cycle.

All of the atoms that are building blocks of living things are a part of biogeochemical cycles. The most common of these are the carbon and nitrogen cycles.

Tiny atoms of carbon and nitrogen are able to move around the planet through these cycles. For example, an atom of carbon is absorbed from the air into the ocean water where it is used by little floating plankton doing photosynthesis to get the nutrition they need. There is the possibility that this little carbon atom becomes part of the plankton’s skeleton, or a part of the skeleton of the larger animal that eats it, and then part of a sedimentary rock when the living things die and only bones are left behind. Carbon that is a part of rocks and fossil fuels like oil, coal, and natural gas may be held away from the rest of the carbon cycle for a long time. These long-term storage places are called “sinks”. When fossil fuels are burned, carbon that had been underground is sent into the air as carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas.

Recently, people have been causing these biogeochemical cycles to change. When we cut down forests, make more factories, and drive more cars that burn fossil fuels, the way that carbon and nitrogen move around the Earth changes. These changes add more greenhouse gases in our atmosphere and this causes climate change.

The element carbon is a part of seawater, the atmosphere, rocks such as limestone and coal, soils, as well as all living things. On our dynamic planet, carbon is able to move from one of these realms to another as a part of the carbon cycle.

Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas and traps heat in the atmosphere. Without it and other greenhouse gases, Earth would be a frozen world. But since the start of the Industrial Revolution about 150 years ago humans have burned so much fuel and released so much carbon dioxide into the air that global climate has risen over one degree Fahrenheit. The atmosphere has not held this much carbon for at least 420,000 years according to data from ice cores. The recent increase in amounts of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide is having a significant impact on the warming of our planet.

Carbon moves through our planet over longer time scales as well. For example, over millions of years weathering of rocks on land can add carbon to surface water which eventually runs off to the ocean. Over long time scales, carbon is removed from seawater when the shells and bones of marine animals and plankton collect on the sea floor. These shells and bones are made of limestone, which contains carbon. When they are deposited on the sea floor, carbon is stored from the rest of the carbon cycle for some amount of time. The amount of limestone deposited in the ocean depends somewhat on the amount of warm, tropical, shallow oceans on the planet because this is where prolific limestone-producing organisms such as corals live. The carbon can be released back to the atmosphere if the limestone melts or is metamorphosed in a subduction zone.

During DIGESTION OF FOOD, complex molecules are BROKEN DOWN. State why this is so.
lakkis [162]

Answer:

 It is impossible for intact food to pass through the cell membranes since its molecules are too large. Animals can use nutrients and organic molecules when the food is broken down into smaller particles.
