FOSSIL FUELS
We use this fossil fuel for cars.
What is petroleum (oil)?
Energy that does not last forever.
What is renewable energy?
Energy that comes from moving water.
What is hydroelectric or hydropower?
Energy in motion is called.
What is kinetic energy?
Energy that is generated by heat.
What is thermal energy?
once living organisms that died and gradually transformed into rock.
What are fossils?
We use this source of energy the most.
What are fossil fuels?
Light to electric.
What is solar power/energy?
This energy is used by our toasters, coffee makers, and stoves.
What is electrical energy?
Has energy stored in the bonds of chemicals.It is released during a reaction.
What is chemical energy?
Millions of years ago, giant plants died. Adding heat and pressure, this fossil fuel was formed.
What is coal?
Takes millions of years to form.
What is nonrenewable energy?
Made when you burn dead plants & trash for energy.
What is biofuels?
Atoms from a fuel called uranium are split by neutrons. This energy is released as heat, which changes water into steam, which then turns turbine generators.
What is nuclear energy?
A form of energy our eyes can detect. It travels in a straight path and is made of electro- magnetic radiation.
What is light energy?
Cannot see it, has no door, lighter than air.
What is natural gas?
Stored energy is called.
What is potential Energy?
heat from the inside of the earth made from steam in the Earth coming up and spinning turbines, turns generator = electricity
What is geothermal?
Chemical, fossil fuels & nuclear are all under the same category of what energy source.
What is non-renewable sources?
Negatively and positively charge electrons in a circuit. It can produce light, thermal, and sound energy.
What is electrical energy?
Tiny marine plants and animals died and were buried on the ocean floor. Over millions of years, adding heat and pressure, these 2 fossil fuels were formed.
What is petroleum (oil) and natural gas?
fossil fuels, hydro, solar, nuclear, wind, geothermal, biomass are all...
What is sources of energy?
Resources to help reduce our need for fossil fuels.
What is alternative energy?
Energy travels through substances in longitudinal waves, something vibrates and energy is transferred in a wave.
What is sound energy?
The sum of kinetic and potential energy in an object that is used to do work.
What is mechanical energy?
