Answer:

<h2>Petroleum that is worthwhile extracting is usually found trapped in layers of permeable rocks by other layers of impermeable rock, but more recently reserves of gas and oil are being extracted from shale which is an impermeable rock but is porous in the sense that there are spaces (pores) within its structure in which ...</h2>

We extract petroleum through gas rigs as petroleum is found in the deeper layers of the earth.

How did glacial ice impact the North American landscape?

fomenos

Answer:

C. It formed the Great Lakes.

Explanation:

At the height of the last Ice Age, some 20,000 years ago, ice sheets in the northern hemisphere (Eurasia at the top, North America at the bottom) covered the largest area of the territory now known as North America. Scientists believe that the formation of the five Great Lakes was influenced by the movement of ice during the latest ice age.

In nuclear fission and fusion reactions mass is converted into energy. The average person in US uses around 100,000,000 J of ene

daser333 [38]

Answer:

a) The yearly energy consumption for a US population of 300 million is $3\times 10^{16} J/year$

b) The energy that would be released if a 60 kg person were converted entirely into energy is $5.4\times 10^{18}$ Joules.

c) 180 years would this amount of energy support a population of 300 million.

Explanation:

a) Average energy consumed by single person of US = 100,000,000 J/year

Then 300 million US citizen will consume:

300 million = 300 × 1,000,000 = $3\times 10^8$

The yearly energy consumption for a US population :

$100,000,000 J/year\times 3\times 10^8=3\times 10^{16} J/year$

The yearly energy consumption for a US population of 300 million is $3\times 10^{16} J/year$

b) $E = m\times c^2$

E = Energy from converted mass of m

c = speed of light

Given mass of person = m = 60 kg

$E=60 kg\times (3\times 10^8 m/s)^2 = 5.4\times 10^{18} J$

c) Energy calculated in part (b) = $E=5.4\times 10^{18} J$

The yearly energy consumption for a US population of 300 million in an year = $3\times 10^{16} J/year$

Let the that would be supported by $5.4\times 10^{18}$ Joules of energy be x.

$x\times 3\times 10^{16} J/year=5.4\times 10^{18} J$

$x=\frac{5.4\times 10^{18} J}{3\times 10^{16} J/year}=180 years$

180 years would this amount of energy support a population of 300 million.

What does it mean to you to be a conservation leader

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Conservation leadership is a term without a widely shared understanding of its scope and meaning. In this article, the author shares perspectives based on interviews, literature and a survey to begin to identify strategies that define conservation leadership. Results indicate that some elements of conservation leadership are similar to strategies of effective leadership more broadly. Conservation leadership also includes distinguishing aspects, however, such as conflict management and partnership-building.
