AP®︎ Environmental Science: Topic 6.2 Flashcards

The amount of energy used by a person, sector, country, or the world during a specified period

The combination of fossil fuels, nuclear energy, and renewable sources used worldwide; fossil fuels collectively supply most global energy

Inadequate access to affordable, reliable modern energy services

Energy use for manufacturing, machinery, high-temperature heat, fuel refining, and raw-material processing

Energy used to move people and goods, supplied mainly by petroleum-derived fuels such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel

Energy used in homes for heating, cooling, water heating, lighting, cooking, refrigeration, and appliances

Energy used in service buildings such as offices, schools, hospitals, stores, and hotels

Energy used for farm machinery, irrigation, fertilizer production, food processing, and transportation

Environmental or public-health costs not included in an energy source's market price

Energy in an original source before conversion to another form

Energy produced by converting primary energy; electricity is a secondary energy form

Energy that is bought and sold, such as electricity, gasoline, coal, or natural gas

Energy gathered or produced locally for direct use and often undercounted in market statistics

Energy used by an entire population; total consumption = population × energy consumption per person

Average energy use per person; per-capita consumption = total energy consumption ÷ population
