Part A Your presentation should make a convincing argument supporting or opposing the idea that natural gas is
a clean energy source. Your presentation should answer some of these questions:
What is natural gas?
What geological processes form natural gas?
• Is natural gas found in equal amounts around the globe? Why or why not?
• How much natural gas is used in the United States each year? How does this compare with oil and
coal use?
• How does burning natural gas influence the carbon cycle?
• How much carbon dioxide (CO2) does natural gas emit compared with other fossil fuels?
• Are there energy alternatives that emit less CO2 than natural gas does? If so, are these solutions
equally available everywhere on Earth?
• Based on your findings, would you consider natural gas a clean source of energy?
Write down two additional questions you have about natural gas that will help you make this argument in
your presentation.
PLEASE HELP ASAP

Natural gasses are gasses formed deep beneath the Earth's surface that are used to fuel things. They are considered Fossil Fuel(s).

They are formed when natural material such as decomposing plant and animal matter are exposed to intense heat and pressure underground for over millions of years

Natural gasses are not found in equal amounts all around the globe because each environment has different heat temperatures, ground height, some might not have as much plant life or animal life there for a place like a marsh/swamp will probably have more considering it's mostly warm in these areas and there's a lot of life

In 2019 the US used 31 trillion cubic feet of natural gasses, in 2016 the US consumed 731,071,000 Tons of coal, and in 2017 the US used 7.28 billion barrels of petroleum products

CO2 is in Natural gas so when it burns it's releasing what it's made up of along with the CO2.

Natural Gasses produce 117lbs. per MBtu(Million British thermal unit), Coal produces 200lbs. per MBtu, and Oil produces 160lbs. per MBtu

Solar, Wind, and Hydroelectric are all Renewable and considered Carbon-free. Nuclear power is also considered carbon-free because it does not burn like coal. Wind and Solar can be available everywhere, hydroelectric would only be near water and solar might not be very efficient in places that don't get a lot of sunlight

I would not consider it clean per se but I would say it's one of the cleaner options. It still produces a considerable amount of CO2 into the atmosphere and the process for getting a hold of it probably also has some downfalls to the environment.

How'd we find natural gasses and why did we decide to use them this way?

the density would be a smaller number.

manifest functions are the recognized and intended consequences of any social pattern, while latent functions are those unrecognized and unintended consequences. to analyze the manifest functions of any social institution, we have to study its contribution to the continuation of a group, community, or society.
