Physical science, energy research question
I found this article in the magazine, Science World. It was published in the December 10th issue 2012. What inferences can you make about how natural gas is used to generate electricity? What inferences can you make about the environmental impact of using natural gas to generate electricity? Why do you think this crater is still on fire? What does this say about the availability of natural gas in this part of the world?

That its not commonly used because it is highly flammable and toxic to living species around it. It impacts the environment by suffocating species and plant life and different living things. I think it is still on fire because it was released to oxygen and also because it runs off fossil fuel and fossil fuel runs for long periods of time. In that part of the world fossil fuel would be the best way of energy because they just found a lot of it even though it is harsh to creatures around it.
ReplyDeleteQ1: Natural has is obviously easy to set on fire (states the article), so this would create energy because your using the burning of the gas to make energy and it lasts awhile
ReplyDeleteQ2: People want to use that natural gas to create energy. If they didn't use it then it would be killing humans and animals. So using it for energy actually saves lives.
Q3: they crater is burning,for so long because it has so much natural gas under the surface that the fire is slowly going through it all. I shows that there is A LOT of natural gas in that part of the world.
