ENVIRONMENT
CLIMATE CHANGE
THUNDERS = severe, strike, fall
VOLCANO: active, erupt, ash, lava
RAIN: torrential, tropical, heavy, dense, pouring, drizzles (n)
WIND: heavy, freezing, breeze
EARTHQUAKE: = aftershock, tremor (v), severe
-
LIGHTNING: deafening, strike,
AVALANCHE: snowflakes, devastating, sudden
-
-
TIDAL WAVE: effect of gravitational between the sun, the earth and the moon
SUBMARINE LANSLIDES: sudden, severe, trigger tsunamis
-
BLIZZARD: severe snowstorms, strong sustained winds
-
HURRICANE: violent storms, strong winds, western atlantic ocean
-
ENERGY
TYPES: green, fossil fuels, (non) renewable, alternative
BIOFUEL
(+): different sources, pollute less than fossil fuels, cheaper, renewable, can be produced in any country
(-): Include CO2, S, Co, ashes contain lead, less efficiency, more expensive
COAL
(+): abundant, inexpensive, clean coal
(-): adverse impacts, pollute the environment, emits exhausted fumes, expensive
GEOTHERMAL
(+): renewable, smaller amounts of CO2, small footprint, reliable
(-): Extreme case: earthquake, upfront costs, proper management
HYDRO-POWER
(+): non-pollutant, renewable, reliable, flexible
(-): Forces relocation, change temperature of water/ flow, low level of oxygen, create methane, expensive
SOLAR
(+): abundant, renewable, sustainable, non-pollute, worldwide available, silent
(-): upfront investment, intermittent, expensive, raw materials, large space
NUCLEAR
(+): insignificant CO2, efficient, available, low cost
(-): devastating impacts, radioactive waste, high cost, target for terrorists activities
WIND
(+): clean, renewable, sustainable, negligible pollutants, space efficiency, powering houses
(-): Intermittent, unpredictable, deaths of bats and birds, noise, biological impacts
TIDAL
(+): predictable, long life span, renewable, unpolluted
(-): Intermittent, disturb aquatic life, high investment, relocation
HYDROGEN
(+): cheaper, worldwide available, green
(-): high investment, emits CO2, CO, S, less efficient

Be snowed under: feel overwhelmed, have too much work
