Alternative Energy creates less Pollution compared to fossil fuel. Fossil Fuel
Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant Nuclear Power Plant 5421 Shearon Harris Rd · (919) 363 -0560 Website Directions Mc. Guire Nuclear Station Nuclear Power Plant 12700 Hagers Ferry Rd · (800) 777 -0003 Website Directions Brunswick Nuclear Plant Nuclear Power Plant 8520 River Road Southeast · (910) 457 -2900 Website Directions Nuclear power plants in North Carolina are also alternative sources of energy.
The two-unit, 1, 870 -megawatt Brunswick Nuclear Plant is located approximately two miles north of Southport, N. C. , and houses two boiling water nuclear reactors. This was the first nuclear power plant built in North Carolina, beginning operation in 1975. An additional unit became operational in 1977, and 244 megawatts of electrical generation was added to the plant's output from 2002 to 2005 as part of an extended power uprate program that upgraded much of the plant's equipment.

The Mc. Guire Nuclear Station is a nuclear power plant located about 17 miles (27 km) northwest of Charlotte, North Carolina, on the state's largest lake, Lake Norman. Nuclear power plants in North Carolina
The single-unit, 900 megawatt Harris Nuclear Plant is located near New Hill, N. C. It is about 25 miles southwest of Raleigh, N. C. The plant began commercial operation in 1987, and generates enough electricity to power more than 550, 000 homes. Nuclear power plants in North Carolina
What is Pollution? Pollution is the introduction of a contaminant into the environment. It is created mostly by human actions, but can also be a result of natural disasters. Pollution has a damaging effect on any living organism in an environment.
Two types of Pollution Sources 1. Non-point source pollution – pollution from wide variety of sources. 2. Point source pollution -pollution from a specific or identifiable source.
1. Non point source pollution Examples: motor oil, antifreeze, cosmetics, salts added on roads during winter, excess fertilizer. Anything that is picked up
2. Point source pollution – Examples: factories and power plants You know exactly where the pollution is coming from.
Point Source Pollution coming from a known source.
You know that the oil spill came from the tanker. This is Point Source Pollution.
You do not really know who threw these plastics and other trash or where they came from. They were brought to the lake or to the ocean by runoff This Non-Point Source Pollution. .
You do not really know whose car leaked oil. Oil from car parks are washed by runoff and brought to the lakes. This is Non. Point Source Pollution.
Non-point source pollution Litter, motor oil leak, CO 2, plastics, chemicals All these pollution mixed together and transported by runoff to rivers, lakes, and Excess fertilizaer Animal waste
Nonpoint Source Pollution 1. What is the biggest source of water pollution? 2. What is non-point source pollution? 3. How does nonpoint source pollution get in our water? 4. Where does nonpoint source pollution come from? 5. What are the common causes of nonpoint source pollution?
Nonpoint Source Pollution https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=phm. N-Ip. R 3 xw
Nonpoint Source Pollution 1. What is the biggest source of water pollution? Backyards, parking lots and farms. 2. What is non-point source pollution? Pollution from wide source. 3. How does nonpoint source pollution get in our water? Runoff brings pollutants to rivers and streams 4. Where does nonpoint source pollution come from? From all of us. That is why we need to reuse, reduce, and recycle. 5. What are the common causes of nonpoint source pollution? Over applying fertilizer, dripping oil, allowing erosion, leaving pet waste.
6. What is an acidic lake? Pollution can turn a lake into an Acidic lake. A healthy lake has a p. H of 6. 5 - 7. When the p. H of the lake become lower than 6. 5 then a lake is acidic. If the acidity is below 4. 5 then all plants and fish will die.
7. What is Eutrophication? https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=6 LAT 1 g. LMPu 4
Eutrophication The process by which a body of water acquires a high concentration of nutrients, especially phosphates and nitrates. That promote excessive growth of algae. As the algae die and decompose, oxygen hungry bacteria turn the body of water anoxic or no oxygen. This causes the fish to die.
Point Source Pollution is from an identifiable source.
Garbage Patch in the Middle of the Ocean 8. How does the garbage end up in the middle of the oceans? 9. How are marine organisms affected by plastics? 10. How are we affected by plastics?
Garbage Patch in the Ocean https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=St. NZ 3 XUBDYw
Garbage Patch in the Middle of the Ocean 8. How do the garbage end up in the middle of the oceans? Runoff brings plastics to rivers and rivers bring this to the oceans. 9. How are marine organisms affected by plastics? Marine organisms eat the plastics. 10. How are we affected by plastics? We eat marine organisms and the plastics in their muscles and tissues. This is biological magnification!

11. What is an ocean gyre? A gyre is any large system of rotating ocean currents.
An ocean gyre is any large system of rotating ocean currents, particularly those involved with large wind movements. Gyres are caused by the Coriolis Effect

12. Where does your litter go? https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=Nh 6 lkv 1 udb 0
Litter consists of waste products that have been disposed improperly, without consent, at an inappropriate location.
fridge CFC from these sources are examples of nonpoint source pollution. Aerosols Air conditioners
13. Which can lead to the depletion of the ozone layer of Earth? A. coal-fired power plants B. vehicle exhaust C. burning compost D. aerosols

14. Since 1901, global surface temperatures have risen at an average rate of 0. 13°F every ten years. In which way could the average increase in global temperatures influence Earth? A. by decreasing erosion within coastal ecosystems B. by decreasing periods of drought in all water systems C. by increasing the amount of flooding because of rising sea levels D. by increasing the formation of sea ice within polar regions
Which causes pollution? Hydroelectric in Dam Nuclear Power Reforestation
15. Which is a major source of air pollution created by humans? A. hydroelectric plants B. industrial factories C. reforestation D. nuclear power
