What is Thermal Energy?

500

Describe this Energy System: 

An uncovered pot of potatoes boiling on the stove. system. Thermal energy is transferred from the stove burner to the pot and its contents, as well as to the surrounding cooler air. 

As the water boils, thermal energy is also transformed into the mechanical kinetic energy of rising steam. As the steam leaves the pot, the system loses both matter and energy to the surroundings.
