ESCI 1001 Lecture Notes - Lecture 12: Saint Louis River, Sea Level Rise, Esci
Document Summary
Acid rain so4 + no3 + water in atmosphere. Particulate pollution increased heavy metals like mercury. Mainly within saint louis river and lake superior. Carbon sequestration inject supercritical co2 into permeable rock layers. Being used to minimize emissions of co2 from coal burning power plants. Supercritical expand to fill a space like gas density of a liquid. Serpentines hydrated oceanic crust carbonation reaction. Electrical generating plants aren"t evenly distributed across the us due to population. Geothermal energy pumping fluids down into hot rocks, which bring it to hotter rocks, which then return it back up (useful on western half of us where plate tectonics are active) Produce steam to turn turbine - produces electricity in a nuclear fission power plant.
