Hydro
This natural resource is used to generate hydroelectric power.
What is water?
This moving air is used to generate wind energy.
What is wind?
This star provides the energy used in solar power.
What is the Sun?
This movement of ocean water is used to generate tidal energy.
What are tides?
This type of energy comes from heat inside the Earth.
What is geothermal energy?
This structure holds back water and is commonly used in hydroelectric power plants.
What is a dam?
Wind turns the blades of this machine to generate electricity.
What is a wind turbine?
These devices capture sunlight and convert it into electricity.
What are solar panels?
This force causes tides to rise and fall.
What is the gravitational pull of the Moon?
This substance is commonly heated underground to produce geothermal electricity.
What is water?
In a hydroelectric plant, moving water spins this device to produce electricity.
What is a turbine?
Wind energy is considered this type of energy source because it can be naturally replenished.
What is renewable energy?
This weather condition most reduces the output of solar panels.
What is cloudy weather (or heavy cloud cover)?
Tidal energy is more predictable than wind energy because tides follow this regular pattern.
What is the Moon's orbit (or gravitational cycle)?
This layer of the Earth contains the most molten rock that contributes to geothermal energy.
What is the mantle?
This type of energy in falling water is converted into electrical energy at a hydroelectric plant.
What is kinetic energy?
This energy transformation occurs when a wind turbine generates electricity.
What is kinetic energy to electrical energy?
Solar panels convert this type of energy into electrical energy.
What is radiant (light) energy?
This type of energy in moving tidal water is converted into electricity.
What is kinetic energy?
In a geothermal power plant, heat energy is used to create this, which spins a turbine.
What is steam?
This Canadian province generates most of its electricity from hydroelectric power.
What is Quebec?
This Canadian province is home to one of the country's largest wind farms, located near Pincher Creek.
What is Alberta?
This is the main limitation of solar energy in northern regions during winter.
What are shorter daylight hours and less sunlight?
This Canadian location is famous for having the highest tides in the world.
What is the Bay of Fundy?
Geothermal energy comes from heat beneath this outer layer of the Earth.
What is the Earth's crust?
