an area of land that is saturated with water for part or all of the year.

energy from the sun♥

extra:

solar cells(like the ones that are in your watch or calculators) use the light energy to power them. 

[image]

resources that are used faster than they can be replaced by natural processes.

extra:

fossil fuels are this :)))

wind farm

A group of wind turbines that prodoce electricity.

extra:

these turbines look like big pin wheels:

fresh water

water that has less than 0.2 percent salt dissolved in it.

*** remember- if it is more than 0.2% salt in it- its not this.***

we drink this. only 3% water on earth is this.

     yummy:P

deposits of minerals that are LARGE enough to be mined for profit.

[image]platinum

the cutting of large areas of forests for human activities.

extra: when people do this they are SUPPOSE to plant more trees.

a brownish haze produced when nitrogen compounds and other pollutants in the air react in the presence of sun light.

gross:(

precipitation that has a ph (In chemistry, pH is a measure of the activity of the (solvated) hydrogen ion. p[H], which measures the hydrogen ion concentration, is closely related to, and is often written as, pH.^[1] Pure water has a pH very close to 7 at 25 °C. Solutions with a pH less than 7 are said to be acidic and solutions with a pH greater than 7 are basic or alkaline.) less than 6.5

runoff

[image]

water that flows over earths surface.

[image]

an area of land that drains runoff into a particular stream, lake, ocean or other body of water.

energy released from atomic reactions.

when you split an atom you release A LOT of energy. this can be a good thing if you can control it. if you dont it might look something like this:

[image]

just kiding- maybe.

an area of permeable sediment or rock that holds significant amounts of water

[image]

water that lies below ground

[image]

this is where we get most of our drinking water from.

the upper limit of the saturated zone.

[image]

resources that can be replaced by natural processes in a relatively short amount of time.

ex.:solar energy, wind energy, hydroelectric energy, geothermal energy, and biomass energy.

sun, wind, water, energy from inside earth and burning things.

reclamation

[image]

the process in which mined land must be recovered with soil and replanted with vegetation.

[image]

electricity produced by flowing water.

[image]

water is a renewable resource.

geothermal energy

thermal energy from earths interior.

[image]

[image]

energy produced by burning organic materials, such as wood, food scraps, and alcohol fuel.
