Solar
This type of renewable energy is more abundant, less exhaustible, and more pollution-free than any other source.
What is solar energy?
This the term used for the splitting of atomic nuclei.
What is fission?
This is the name for the diesel substitute derived from plant oils and animal fats.
What is biodiesel?
This semiconductor is the chemical element that produces an electrical current when sun hits a solar panel.
What is silicon?
This type of energy is derived from heat from the Earth's interior.
What is geothermal energy?
This is the name of a structure that's designed to capture energy from the sun in the form of heat.
What is a greenhouse?
This is the chemical element required to create nuclear energy.
What is uranium?
This is the type of fuel created when gasoline is mixed with alcohol.
What is gasohol?
All matter is composed of small, submicroscopic particles called these.
What are atoms?
This type of energy is found in only a few select areas (like Iceland) and can be very hard on machinery.
What is geothermal energy?
This is the term used that describes a poor conductor unless acted upon by light, heat or electricity.
What is a semiconductor?
This is the largest problem with nuclear energy.
What is radiation or a nuclear meltdown?
This forms when vegetable matter decomposes.
What is methane?
The power from moving water is often called this.
What is hydroelectric energy?
This type of energy is clean, cheap, and nonpolluting and is often found in volcanic areas.
What is geothermal energy?
This type of energy does NOT turn a turbine in order to create electrical energy.
What is biofuels or solar energy?
This is the term used when a fission process starts and continues on its own.
What is a chain reaction?
This type of biofuel is widely available, bulkier and less efficient than oil or gas, and produces large amounts of CO2.
What is wood?
This forms as a byproduct when marshes and swampy areas build up and begin to decay.
What is methane?
This biggest disadvantage of hydroelectric power occurs with these types of animals.
What are migrating fish?
This type of energy is obtained directly from the sunlight.
What is solar energy?
This is the main reason that the US has not taken over in using nuclear energy.
What is fear?
This is the main benefit to alcohol based fuels.
What is less emissions?
This is the main reason that renewable energy has been encouraged.
What is reduce emissions (carbon)?
A huge disadvantage to wind turbines impacts this type of wildlife.
What are birds?
