Hybrid+Cars+(Fuel+Cells)+(Jeff+Angie)

= ​ Hybrid Cars (Fuel Cells)= A hybrid vehicle is a vehicle that uses two or more distinct power sources to move the vehicle. The term most commonly refers to hybrid electric. Hybrid vehicle that combines a conventional internal combustion engine propulsion system with an electric propulsion system.
 * What is a Hybrid vehicle?**

A Hybrid vichicle achieves either better fuel economy than a conventional vehicle, or better performance. to reduce the amount of fuel emissions released into the air. The average caqr gets about 27 mpg if lucky, and the average suv gets about 15 mpg if lucky. both types of these vehicle realse alot of toxic greenhouse gases into our air. because of the rising gas prices and the bad econmey a hybrid car or suv may not be afford able. a Hybrid vehicle can get up to 60 mpg for a car and an suv can get up to 35-40 mpg. Hybrid cars produce significantly less air pollutants and can even qualify owners for a one-time tax credit.
 * What problems it is trying to address?**

A Hybrid car would be more useful to any person who owns a car. Weather you are using it for city driving, highway driving, country driving, really anything they are more fuel efficient and dont put toxic gases into the air. they make all different cars and trucks and also suv's now to help everyone out with what there job is and what they will be using the vichele for.
 * When is it useful?**

Hybrid cars relate to the Carbon Cycle because when driving any type of vehicle carbon dioxide is emitted from the engine in which it is released into the atmosphere and becomes apart of the Carbon Cycle.
 * How does the topic relate to one or more of the nutrient cycles (Carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous, water) Explain?**

A hybrid car is besically the same as a regular car but it runs on half electric motor. The fuel efficiency on a hybrid vehicle is very helpful to the envirnment. when you Burn a gallon of gasoline witch weighs about over six pounds, it will combine with th oxygen and make over 20 pounds of carbon dioxide.
 * Is it a viable solution to protect the biosphere? Exsplain**

A hybrid car still produces battery toxicity to the envirnement. Nickel metal hydride batteries in hybrid car's batteries are still a big pollutants to the envirnment, and also a hybrid car or suv is much more exspensive then a regular one.
 * What are the possible consequences to the environment?**

[] This video shows how a Hybrid Vehicle opperates using both its electric and gas powered motor.

This diagram of a hybrid motor labels each of the different parts of the motor. This picture shows a honda civic hybrid motor depicting a portion of its gas and electric motor.

http://gilmourbiology.wikispaces.com/carbon+sequestration+%28Caton+Gomillion%29 Caton did Carbon Sequestration which stores carbon from the atmopshere and then is converted into a liquid and is put into the ground. Both Hybrid engines and Carbon Sequestration both use the carbon cycle and release carbon dioxide into the air.
