Energy
Energy that can be used more than once, we can make more of it
What is Renewable Energy
Fuels made in the Earth from the remains of plants and animals
What are Fossil Fuels
Used to produce electricity from Wind
What is a Wind Turbine
Solar
Renewable
It is cheaper to store energy as oil compared to electricity inside batteries (T or F)
True, batteries are very expensive.
Energy that can be used once cannot be replaced
What is Nonrenewable Energy
Moving air
What is Wind
Positives of using Wind Energy
Batteries
Nonrewable
Burning fossil fuels leads to climate change (T or F)
True, burning fossil fuels creates gas that warms the planet.
Motion/Movement
What is Kinetic Energy
Sun
What is Solar
Negatives to Wind Energy
What are it is expensive to build, creates waste, you need it consistantly windy and it is noisy
Gasoline
Nonrenewable
Climate change is when the weather and temperature changes around the world (T or F)
T
Stored Energy
What is Potential Energy
Water
What is Hydropower
How does a wind turbine work?
Wind turns the blades on the turbine, which then starts a generator that creates electricity
Hydro
Renewable
Windmills are known to hit small planes by accident (T or F).
False, windmills do hit birds though.
Electricity
Depends (Can be either one depending on what is used) Fossil Fuels=Nonrenewable Solar/Wind=Renewable
Canada gets more of its energy from fossil fuels than any other source (T or F)
False, Canada gets 60% (almost 2/3) of its power from hydroelectricity (2025). This makes sense because we have a ton of water.
