Wind power:
Advantages:
-Using wind as a source of power is very cost-effective. This is method is fuel free and the electricity harvested from wind farms is sold at a fixed price over a long period of time.
-Wind power is a clean fuel source. Using wind as a source of power prevents air pollution unlike power plants that mostly rely on fossil fuels which releases toxins into the hair causing both environmental and health problems.
-Wind power is a sustainable source of power since nothing can really stop it from being produced. Since this source of power relies on air, as long as there is air, energy can be harvested.
Disadvantages:
-Wind turbines are usually built in rural areas due to the size of them and the amount of space needed to build them. Because of this, they aren’t usually close to cities or remote locations where the energy harvested from them is most needed.
-Wind turbines can harmfully impact nature. Because of their height and size, many birds and other flying animals end up getting killed by the spinning blades connected to the turbine.
-Locations to build wind turbines may be hard to get due to competition with other things that may be of more importance on the land compared to wind farms.
Which Characteristic of life best describes the process of homostasis
Answer:
Benthic Zone- bottom of ocean
Pelagic Zone- the open ocean that is not near the coast.
Oceanic zone- Zone that is beyond the continental shelf
Neritic zone- Zone that exists over the continental shelf
Photic zone- Zone where sunlight pass through
Aphotic zone- Zone where sunlight cannot pass through
Explanation:
There two important zones of the ocean that can be termed as Benthic Zone which lies at bottom of ocean or sea and Pelagic Zone that could be imagined as a cylinder or water column that goes from the surface of the sea or ocean to its bottom. At the very bottom of the sea there lies an ecological region termed as Benthic Zone.The pelagic zone can also be termed as the open-ocean zone and it is in contrast with water that is nearer to the coast or continental shelf.
There are different zones that lies within a Pelagic Zone. They are
Oceanic, Neritic, Photic, Aphotic. The zone that lies beyond the continental shelf comes under this oceanic zone and Photic and Aphotic as the name suggests it refers to light. It referes to the zones where sunlight can penetrate and can not penetrate respectively.
