The table below shows the use of some energy production methods over time. Type of energy Average energy used annually in the past (in million tons) Average energy used annually at present (in million tons) Average energy most likely to be used annually in the future (in million tons)
Oil 200 4000 300
Gas 100 2500 700
Coal 1000 2500 1400
Wind 0.1 50 2000
Hydropower 0.7 60 150
Tidal power 0.02 50 500

Based on the table, which of these statements best describes the potential impact of different methods of energy production on the environment in the future?

The height of tides may increase.
The speed of winds may decrease.
Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere may increase.

Isobars are lines of constant or equal pressure on a weather map. they can be used to find areas of low or high pressure over a broad area, and they can tell us how intense the system may be. on weather maps, you may have noticed areas that have a large l or h over a region with lines circling around them. the l stands for low pressure and h stands for high pressure. the lines circling them are isobars. check out the pressure system and isobars over georgia and florida. what is the present weather in this area ? a) clear and sunny b) cold and cloudy c) changing weather d) lots of precipitation
