Experiences with David Aquino
With David, we learned about conservation of energy. One experience we did was an energy process to show how much energy it takes to turn on a light bulb. The LED was super easy, the CFL was also easy, and the regular light bulb was quite a bit harder than the other two.
l. What are some environmental changes due to rising temperature?
A. Ice is melting because of the heat, killing land animals in the Arctic. It is getting warmer, causing wildfire and killing many species. Also, the air and sea are becoming poisonous from CO2, killing many species. Thus, all these factors will cause a mass extinction all because of mankind's ignorance and laziness.
2. What caused the rising temperature?
A. When we burn fossil fuels, then the atmosphere gets thicker with carbon dioxide, so the heat gets
trapped inside. That is what happened in Venus.
3. How can rising temperatures affect Hawaii?
A. It can kill our fish and reefs that cannot adapt well to heat. It will also flood the island shores and cities. When the ice melts, the water's height increases and Hawaii could sink because Hawaii is a island. There could be going to be a lot of wild fire.
4.What would happen if there was a 1 meter rise in the sea level?
A. Waikiki, Ala Moana Park, and Honolulu Zoo would flood all the way up to Iolani!
Island sanctuaries would sink and animal species would die.
5. Why clean energy?
A. We use clean energy to reduce the carbon dioxide output because it can affect a lot, like some islands sinking or global warming. Clean energy does not release carbon dioxide. Clean energy is made by solar energy, hydro energy, wind energy, and bio fuel.
6. Where does energy come from?
A. 95% of energy is from oil (Coal)
- Solar energy by solar panels
- Hydro energy by the speed of water
- Wind energy by the windmill
- Electricity by the oil
