2. Explain why the use of non-conventional sources of energy is on the rise
Answers
1.The force, called the "Coriolis effect," causes the direction of winds and ocean currents to be deflected. In the Northern Hemisphere, wind and currents are deflected toward the right, in the Southern Hemisphere they are deflected to the left.Because the Earth rotates on its axis, circulating air is deflected toward the right in the Northern Hemisphere and toward the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This deflection is called the Coriolis effect. ... Coastal currents are affected by local winds.
2.The use of non-conventional sources of energy is becoming necessary because of the following reasons: (i) The growing consumption of energy in the country has made us dependent on fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas and it may lead to shortages in the supply of oil, gas and coal in future.
