Are Nuclear Power or Wind Power the Answer to our Energy/Electricity Needs? (answer clearly please)

Geography
2 answers:
mars1129 [50]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Nuclear is reliable.

Nuclear plants are the most efficient source of electricity, operating 24/7 at a more than 93 percent average capacity factor. ... That's more than two times the capacity factor of any other carbon-free source. During the 2019 polar vortex, U.S. plants operated at more than 98 percent capacity.

On the other hand, Wind is not as effective as some countries have little to no wind, especially the hot arab or african countries.

Some disadvantages are:

The wind is inconsistent.

Wind turbines involve high upfront capital investment.

Wind turbines have a visual impact.

May reduce the local bird population.

Wind turbines are prone to noise disturbances.

Installation can take up a significant portion of land.

Wind turbines can be a safety hazard.

Nuclear:

Expensive to Build. Despite being relatively inexpensive to operate, nuclear power plants are incredibly expensive to build—and the cost keeps rising.

Accidents.

Produces Radioactive Waste.

Impact on the Environment.

Security Threat.

Limited Fuel Supply.

However, both are at least better than fossil fuels as they are renewable.

How do the earths physical features affect people activities
Rzqust [24]
I think it's recreational activities, method of transportation, and choice of occupation. So all of the above. Why? So lets start with recreational activities. Earth's physical form depends of if people want to go fishing, hiking, hiking, etc. Method of transportation. We need to have smooth ground to bike or drive on. A highway isn't going to be in the middle of the mountain. We need to have a good solid surface. Choice of occupation. Earth has a physical feature of like I said, mountains, plains, oceans, etc. We want to live in a place that has good resources, and good weather. All of these things depend on physical features of Earth.

TRUE OR FALSE........Aerosols (soot &amp; sulfate particles) actually decrease warming – but they are washed out of atmosphere,
Yuri [45]

Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

Aerosol are generally tiny particles suspended in the atmosphere. These can both be solid or liquid particles. These aerosols can either reflect or absorb sunlight depending on its properties, but most of the aerosols are "cool" type of aerosol. So, these aerosols generally decrease the overall temperature and work as an important counterbalance of the global warming caused by the greenhouse gases. These aerosols can also change the air circulation patterns by changing the temperatures by differential rate of sunlight absorption. Carbon aerosols like Soot are opposite to this nature. These absorbs the sunlight and make the atmosphere hotter.

At high concentrations these micrometer sized particles can be very much harmful for humans. Air pollutants produced from the burning of the fossil fuels causes approximately 5.5 million deaths worldwide.

So the answer will be false.
