Concept Map

Our Concept map shows ways that we as a population could change our usage of energy in a way that's more efficient and sustainable.

A. One pattern and trend is that the population has been growing rapidly which results in a higher demand on our non renewable sources.

Another pattern is the temperatures have been gettind increasingly warmer as the years go by which in result has been melting the ice caps.

B. A time delay is in the temperature change. It doesn't happen rapidly, as hundreds of years pass, the temperatures will become increasingly warmer and the effects will take effect. Another time delay is that we won't immediatly run out of supplies it will take awhile for it to run out.

C. The relationships between countries will always be there. We are always going to need relationships with other countries for trading and resources. Without that relationship, our country would not manage. Another relatioship is that our technology will always keep advancing. If it is advanacing this much right now, imaging how it will be in 20 years. Hopefully there will be more advances on finding efficient ways to convert energy which could potentially solve our energy problems.

D. As our population starts to grow, the more non-renewable resources we will consume. At this rate, we will run out of them soon. If we start to use renewable sources, we will slowly regain and preserve our non-renewable sources for a time that we need them the most. Trees is our one main way that take the CO2 out of the air and release oxygen. Deforestation is creating more CO2 in the air which is harming to our enviroment. If we cut back on deforestation, there will be less concentrations of CO2 in our enviroment.
