identify the advantages and disadvantages for both fossil fuels and nuclear fuels

Fossil Fuels

Advantages: Large amounts of fairly cheap electricity can be generated in one place. Transporting it to power stations and plants is easy. Easy to find.

Disadvantages: Major pollution, the plants that use fossil fuels let out lots of carbon dioxide, which contributes to the greenhouse effect. They also produce sulfur dioxide, a gas that contributes to acid rain. Mining coal can be very dangerous. Coal power plants require lots of coal to run.

Nuclear Fuels

Advantages: No greenhouse gases. The energy obtained in these plants is 10 million times more powerful than the same amount made in a coal plant. This type of energy is also reliable and rarely shuts down due to outside causes.

Disadvantages: Very harmful waste. Supplies will run out in years to come. It takes days to shut down a plant. Meltdowns expose very large amounts of radioactivity in an area.

answer and explanation;

volcanic rocks are igneous rocks which form from lava, molten rock which has been thrust out of a volcano onto the surface of a rocky body such as an asteroid, planet, or dwarf planet.  

plutonic rocks are igneous rocks which form from subterranean chambers of molten rock or magma. plutonic rocks make up the base of continental crust as well as oceanic crust. their slow rate of formation causes them to be coarse grained since there is plenty of time for large crystals to form before the magma solidifies into rock.

the textural difference is that plutonic rocks are more coarse grained than volcanic rocks. plutonic rocks are coarse grained while volcanic are fine grained ; glassey or fragmental. since fine and coarse are adjectives the decision as to whether a rock is fine or coarse grained is generally made on the bases of whether or not the individual crystals can be seen in most if the rock.
