Urban sprawl results in natural capital degradation of land and biodiversity by - Ans:✔✔-
Coal properties - Ans:✔✔-Coal is a sedimentary rock that originates in swamps forms from the
compaction of plant material that has not completely decayed. Because of its high carbon content and
low water content, anthracite is the most desirable form of coal. forms from the compaction of plant
material that has not completely decayed.

2. Form a Testable Hypothesis
3. Gather Data
4. Re-evaluate Hypothesis
Population Change Equation - Ans:✔✔-Population change =
(Births + Immigration) - (Deaths + Emigration)

Potential Energy - stored energy (rock held in hand, gas molecules, nuclei of atoms)
Draw and label five features of an atom - Ans:✔✔-
How do we generate nuclear power? - Ans:✔✔-Use nuclear centrifuge to separate U-235 from depleted
U-ore
U-235 atom + neutron = splits (fission), releases energy & particles
New neutrons cause more fission, release more energy
Reaction controlled to prevent explosion
Cooling systems (e.g., water) remove the heat energy from the core, harness it for electrical production.
Water later returned to original source.
Waste is recycled, encapsulated, or injected back underground.
