Fossil Fuel
An organic substance from the geologic period which is found underground and is used as a source of energy.
Greenhouse Effect
The phenomenon whereby the earth's atmosphere traps solar radiation, caused by the presence in the atmosphere of gases such as carbon dioxide, water vapour, and methane that allow incoming sunlight to pass through but absorb heat radiated back from the earth's surface.
Greenhouse Gas
Any of the gases whose absorption of solar radiation is responsible for the greenhouse effect, including carbon dioxide, methane, ozone & fluorocarbons.
Kinetic
Relating to the motion of material bodies and the forces and energy associated therewith
Motorsport
Competitions, especially races, involving motor vehicles, as automobiles, motorboats, or motorcycles.
Noise Pollution
Unwanted or harmful noise from automobiles, airplanes, or and industrial workplaces.
Petrol
A liquid obtained from petroleum, used especially as a fuel for cars, aircraft and other vehicles.
Recycle
To pass (a substance) through a system again for further treatment or use.
