Introduction
Energy is the ability to do work. It can take numerous different forms. Energy of motion is called kinetic energy, while energy that an object has because of its location is called potential energy. The total mechanical energy of an object is the sum of its potential and kinetic energy. Energy stored in other forms like chemical energy can be transformed into mechanical energy
Introduction
History of Energy
1.The sun
+.The first energy source
+.It has provided heat and Light +.Humans could not control it
History of Energy
The fire
+.Humans discovered a way to generate their own energy from wood +.wood burned for warmth,light,and for preparing food. +.the heat from fire began to Be used to change the form of some Materials to make them more usefull
History of Energy
Fossil Fuels
By the sixteenth century, for instance, Great Britain had so few trees left because of overcutting that the British people had to switch to a completely new source of fuel. In place of trees, they began to use coal. Coal, oil, and gas are called fossil fuels because they are extracted from fossilized plant and animal material from deep under the ground
History of Energy
Ever since the Industrial Revolution, humans have sought to generate power from a variety of energy sources. This remains true today, especially as some energy sources are being used up. Current power needs are continuing to climb while the resources of the planet are steadily being depleted. Technology that operates on electricity, including everything from the typical refrigerator in the kitchen to street lights, is now a part of the lives of most people in industrialized nations, such as the United States. Much of that electricity is generated in power plants, which use large quantities of fossil fuels.
History of Energy
The future of energy production will certainly determine what the overall health of the planet will be. Most scientists agree that the choices that support fossil fuel use will only worsen the environmental damage that has already occurred. Instead, choosing to look to renewable energy sources and energy conservation techniques offers the potential to improve the health of the planet
History of Energy
Renewable Energy
+. These sources of energy do not release greenhouse gases and they are called renewable sources of energy +. Renewable energy is replaced through natural processes or through sound management practices, and so it is a source of power that does not run out. A perfect example of renewable energy is energy from the sun, which comes in an abundant supply every day.
When climate change happens over a short period of time the worlds creatures and plants have not got enough time to move home or to get used to the new conditions. This can cause many types of animals and plants to die.
Saving Energy
Saving Energy
There are many sources on the web that give you ideas of what you can do to save energy. Here are a few ideas to get you started: +. Change your travel behavior, think more in terms of public transportation, if possible, walk or ride your bicycle instead of taking the car
Saving Energy
Saving Energy
+. Turn off lights and appliances when you are not using them, use energy-saving light bulbs
Saving Energy
+.Use rechargeable batteries instead of disposable batteries +.Use a microwave instead of a stove to reheat food
