Nuclear
Nuclear power generates a lot of this type of waste.
What is dangerous or radioactive waste?
Modern wind turbines that convert wind energy into this type of energy.
What is electricity?
A fuel formed from the fossilized remains of organisms
What is a fossil fuel?
This type of power is the use of sunlight to meet energy needs.
What is solar?
A resource that can be restored more quickly than it is used up.
What is a renewable resource
When atoms are split in a chain reaction, this thing is generated.
What is heat?
Because wind power is dependent on wind, which is not always blowing, these items store electricity for a later use.
What are batteries?
a liquid also known as crude oil
What is petroleum?
A device that converts sunlight to electricity
What is a solar cell or solar panel?
A resource that cannot be restored as quickly as it is used.
What is a nonrenewable resource?
Nuclear energy is generated when these very small things of certain materials are split
What are atoms?
This type of farm consists of many turbines placed together in an area to generate electricity for a community.
What is a wind farm?
Can be made into plastics, lip balm, and other products.
What is petroleum?
The costs of putting solar panels on a house is expensive or inexpensive.
What is expensive?
This fossil fuel forms where petroleum and coal form. It is less dense than solids and liquids and rises in Earth’s crust until it gets stuck under a layer of rock.
What is natural gas?
A specific type of this element is found in rocks and must be used to release nuclear energy.
What is uranium?
This thing transfers through wires to a small power station.
What is electricity?
Like crude oil, it can be extracted from Earth’s crust and transported to other places through a network of pipes.
What is natural gas?
Different amounts of sunlight strike Earth in different locations and at different times. The sun does not shine in the sky all the time. So, even if a home has solar panels or a town is using a solar farm to provide electricity, there still needs to be storage in these things.
What are batteries?
Energy produced by heat that is transferred from Earth’s interior.
What is geothermal energy?
In 1986, an accident occurred at a power plant near the Ukrainian city of Chernobyl. People for many miles around had to abandon the area to escape exposure to...
What is radiation?
Near the island stands a series of tall wind turbines. These rotating things of the turbines rotate faster as the wind picks up.
What are the turbine's blades?
This fossil fuel is a solid. It forms mainly from the fossil remains of plants that once lived in very wet habitats. It has been abundant and inexpensive for centuries.
What is coal?
This type of large farm can harness a lot of sunlight and provide a lot of electricity.
What is a solar farm?
This type of energy is when electricity is generated by the energy in moving water, usually through a dam.
What is hydroelectric energy?
