Document Summary

***if not indicated otherwise, all questions are worth 2 marks**: explain the relationship between these two terms: (2 marks for each terminology) Global warming and peat: peat = forms in low o2 and acidic conditions, organic material doesn"t fully decay and the wetter it is the faster the organic material builds up. As a result of this accumulation, large amounts of carbon is stored within the pelt. Land conversion and carbon sequestration: state the critical difference between each term: (2 marks for each terminology) Negative and positive forcing: define each term and give one advantages and one disadvantage for each: (2 marks for each terminology) Biomass energy comes from organic material (wood, charcoals. Matter from agricultural crops, combustible animal waste products). It involves the direct combustion of organic material for heating: other biomass fuel technologies (biofuel and bio-power) Deep-well injection for waste management: list 2 environmental problems that can persist even after a mine has closed.
