ACSES050
The movement of atmospheric air masses due to heating and cooling, and Earth’s rotation and revolution, cause systematic atmospheric circulation; this is the dominant mechanism for the transfer of thermal energy around Earth’s surface
ACSES050 | Content Descriptions | Unit 2 | Earth and Environmental Science | Science | Senior secondary curriculum
ACSES053
Photosynthesis is the principal mechanism for the transformation of energy from the sun into energy forms that are useful for living things; net primary production is a description of the rate at which new biomass is generated, mainly through photosy …

ACSES054
The availability of energy and matter are one of the main determinants of ecosystem carrying capacity; that is, the number of organisms that can be supported in an ecosystem
ACSES054 | Content Descriptions | Unit 2 | Earth and Environmental Science | Science | Senior secondary curriculum
ACSES055
Biogeochemical cycling of matter, including nitrogen and phosphorus, involves the transfer and transformation of energy between the biosphere, geosphere, atmosphere and hydrosphere
ACSES055 | Content Descriptions | Unit 2 | Earth and Environmental Science | Science | Senior secondary curriculum
ACSES056
Energy is stored, transferred and transformed in the carbon cycle; biological elements, including living and dead organisms, store energy over relatively short timescales, and geological elements (for example, hydrocarbons, coal and kerogens) store energy …

ACSES071
Non-renewable mineral and energy resources are formed over geological time scales so are not readily replenished
ACSES071 | Content Descriptions | Unit 3 | Earth and Environmental Science | Science | Senior secondary curriculum
ACSES072
The location of non-renewable mineral and energy resources, including fossil fuels, iron ore and gold, is related to their geological setting (for example, sedimentary basins, igneous terrains)
ACSES072 | Content Descriptions | Unit 3 | Earth and Environmental Science | Science | Senior secondary curriculum
ACSES073
Mineral and energy resources are discovered using a variety of remote sensing techniques (for example, satellite images, aerial photographs and geophysical datasets) and direct sampling techniques (for example, drilling, core sampling, soil and rock sampling) …
ACSES073 | Content Descriptions | Unit 3 | Earth and Environmental Science | Science | Senior secondary curriculum
ACSES074
The type, volume and location of mineral and energy resources influences the methods of extraction (for example, underground, open pit, onshore and offshore drilling and completion)
ACSES074 | Content Descriptions | Unit 3 | Earth and Environmental Science | Science | Senior secondary curriculum
ACSES075
Extraction of mineral and energy resources influences interactions between the abiotic and biotic components of ecosystems, including hydrologic systems
ACSES075 | Content Descriptions | Unit 3 | Earth and Environmental Science | Science | Senior secondary curriculum
ACSES076
Renewable resources are those that are typically replenished at time scales of years to decades and include harvestable resources (for example, water, biota and some energy resources) and services (for example, ecosystem services)
ACSES076 | Content Descriptions | Unit 3 | Earth and Environmental Science | Science | Senior secondary curriculum
ACSES079
The cost-effective use of renewable energy resources is constrained by the efficiency of available technologies to collect, store and transfer the energy
