What is photosynthesis?
100
This is a type of energy that can move in empty space.
What is radiant energy or electromagnetic energy?
100
This type of energy is produced by the vibrations of matter. These vibrations can move through solid, liquid or gaseous matter, but they cannot travel through empty space.
What is sound energy?
200
Stored energy or energy that an object has due to its position.
What is potential energy?
200
Energy an object has due to its motion, position or condition.
What is mechanical energy?
200

What is decreasing and kinetic energy?
500
The total amount of energy contained in a sample of matter; the movement of atoms and molecules associated with heat.
What is thermal energy?
500
This is an example of chemical energy being changed to thermal energy and then to mechanical energy and finally to electrical energy; it's a major energy source for many.
What is a power plant?
500
This type of radiant energy is produced when creating nuclear energy.
What are gamma rays?
