A
These are energy resources formed from decayed plants and animals over millions of years.
FOSSIL FUELS
This type of energy source is replaced naturally at the same rate it is consumed.
Renewable energy
This type of energy source forms much slower than the rate at which it is used.
Non-renewable energy
This form of energy is produced from the anaerobic decomposition of organic materials.
BIOGAS
This fossil fuel is formed from decayed plants under heat and pressure over millions of years.
COAL
This energy source comes from the sun and is converted into electricity using solar panels.
SOLAR ENERGY
This type of energy comes from flowing or falling water.
HYDROELECTRIC POWER
Coal, oil, and natural gas belong to this group of energy resources.
FOSSIL FUELS
TRUE
Non-renewable energy source formed from compressed ancient marine organisms.
Oil and natural gas
Moving electrons =
electricity
This phase change occurs when a solid absorbs heat and turns into a liquid.
melting
This form of energy uses heat from beneath the Earth to produce steam that drives turbines.
GEOTHERMAL ENERGY
This phase change occurs when a liquid loses heat and turns into a solid.
Freezing
Aside from the energy sources we have already discussed, name one more example of a renewable energy source.
Wind energy, Tidal energy
This part of the battery is where oxidation occurs.
ANODE
CATHODE
This semiconductor material is commonly used in solar cells.
SILICON
When water droplets form on the outside of a cold glass, this phase change is occurring.
CONDENSATION
This type of battery stores energy in a chemical form and is rechargeable, commonly used in smartphones and laptops.
LITHIUM-ION BATERRY
WHAT BACTERIA CONVERTS ORGANIC MATTER INTO A USABLE BIOGAS.
ANAEROBIC BASTERIA
Which component of a geothermal power plant condenses the steam after it has passed through the turbine and generator?
COOLING TOWER
What underground area contains hot water and steam trapped in porous rocks that is tapped for geothermal energy production?
GEOTHERMAL RESERVOIR
What are the particles of light that carry energy from the Sun and are absorbed by solar panels to generate electricity?
PHOTONS
An environmental disaster caused by leakage of petroleum into oceans.
