Examples of several socio-scientific issues that are related to the environment:
  • Deforestation
  • Global warming
  • Air polution
  • Indiscriminate waste disposal
  • Water pollution
 
Socio-scientific issues

Source of energy
 

Source of Energy

 
Non-renewable energy  Renewable energy 

Examples: fossil fuels (petroleum, natural gas, coal), nuclear energy

Examples: Hydro, solar, wind, geothermal, wave

Disadvantages: supply become scarce and environmental pollution (carbon monoxide & carbon dioxide)

Advantages: clean energy, green energy, and pollution free

 
Application of green technology 
  • Wind energy source replace fossil fuel in the future.
  • Hydro energy source become one of the main energy sources in the world to generate electricity.
  • Solar energy source has potential to be developed in Malaysia.
  • Geothermal energy source replace fossil fuel.
