What are the problems caused by fossil fuels and are the alternatives any better?
... There were many coalmines in England during the first part of the 20th century because Britain is very rich in coal.
Oil, unlike coal, is not formed from dead plants, but from dead sea creatures. When animals died, they sank to ...

Why are fossil fuels so important to society, and why do we need to develop renewable fuels for the future?
... used primarily to produce electricity. It therefore provides us with light, motive power from electric motors, and our many electronic devices.
At some point in the future, certain countries will invariably be without a fossil fuel- based economy as fossil fuels ...

Write an essay explaining how energy is transferred through food chains. Explain why efficiency of transfer is important.
... transfer of energy between the food chains is inefficient because as the energy is transferred from one chain to another by consumption, energy is lost. In primary producers the main energy input is the sun. The green plants convert the ...
