The Oil Refineriesa facility designed to change nuclear energy into electricity.A nuclear power plant on the roof of a house on a bright sunny day ,are used to collect solar energy, making your house warm or heating your water.Solar panelsThe Hydro-electric dams are used to keep back water and raise its level for irrigation or for producing electricity, etc.Geothermal (地热的) Energy Plant An energy source is “renewable” when supplies of it never run out and “non-renewable” when one day they will run out. Which energy sources on your list are renewable and which are non-renewable?

How has the global warming come about?①Human activity--- burning of fossil fuels.② Greenhouse effect--- greenhouse gases.③ Huge quantities of extra carbon dioxide---from 1957 to 1997---from around 315 parts per million to around 370 parts per million.4.What are the effects of global warming?④ Encourage a greater range of animals.①The sea level to rise.② Severe storms, droughts, famines, the spread of diseases, and destruction of species.③ Make plants grow faster. Crops will produce more.1. What is the purpose of the paragraph that is in bold?
