"Over the last two decades, the Greenland and Artic ice sheets have been losing mass" #Lesson11

[Kevin Uriel Chaia @ChaiaKevin]

The use of water for energy can have important consequences if ever a disaster occurs. It can cause flooding and important destruction to wildlife. #Lesson7

[Kevin Uriel Chaia @ChaiaKevin]

Some cars can run on ethanol. Ethanol can be obtained from the process of converting the glucose in plants into an alcohol called ethanol #Lesson7

[Kevin Uriel Chaia @ChaiaKevin]

Biomass is a small percentage of energy use. Combustion is the most common source of energy #Lesson7

[Kevin Uriel Chaia @ChaiaKevin]

Although many animals evolve and are able to adapt to some of the changes, some can't #Lesson11

[Kevin Uriel Chaia @ChaiaKevin]

In many regions, the change in precipitation levels and melting snow cause a disruption to the hydrological systems, affecting water resources in terms of quality and quantity #Lesson11

[Kevin Uriel Chaia @ChaiaKevin]

CO2 and Temperature go together. They are highly correlated. When one goes up, the other one too. #Lesson11

[Kevin Uriel Chaia @ChaiaKevin]

From 1901 to 2010, the average global see level increased by 0.19 m #Lesson11

[Kevin Uriel Chaia @ChaiaKevin]

Typical home heat loss occurs:

5% through ceilings
17% from walls
1% from basement floors
20% through basement walls
3% through doors
38% through cracks in walls
16% through windows

[Kevin Uriel Chaia @ChaiaKevin]

The main drawbacks of solar systems is that they are expensive to set up and that it depends on how much sun it receives. This can variate depending on the geographic location #lesson9

[Kevin Uriel Chaia @ChaiaKevin]

The main advantage of solar systems is that they don't emit any emission and the energy is free #Lesson9

[Kevin Uriel Chaia @ChaiaKevin]

A tankless water heater uses gas or electricity to power a heat exchanger that runs cold water through it. #Lesson9

[Kevin Uriel Chaia @ChaiaKevin]

Hot water tanks where the hot water is stored tend to lose heat more easily. Therefore, making sure they are well insulated will help avoid losing heat and energy #Lesson9

[Kevin Uriel Chaia @ChaiaKevin]

Home appliances produce heat tend to produce more power #Lesson2

[Kevin Uriel Chaia @ChaiaKevin]

A clothes drying consuming 2500W of energy will consume approximately 7500 Joules in 3 seconds #Lesson2

[Kevin Uriel Chaia @ChaiaKevin]

Many people think saying "visible light" and "electromagnetic spectrum" is the same. However, they both mean different things. #Lesson1

[Kevin Uriel Chaia @ChaiaKevin]

Fun fact: it is impossible to not increase the thermal energy of an object without raising its temperature #Lesson1

[Kevin Uriel Chaia @ChaiaKevin]

Around 63% of the energy used in Canada is directed towards Space Heating, mainly due to the harsh winters. #Lesson9

[Kevin Uriel Chaia @ChaiaKevin]

Currents generated by oceans can produce much more energy than air since water is 832 times more dense than air #TidalPower
