non-renewables that come from millions of years old plan and animal matter

Question 22

Coal

Answer 22

Compressed carbon from plants

Question 23

Oil

Answer 23

Compressed carbon from animals

Question 24

How is the energy from fossil fuels released

Answer 24

They are burned/ need to combust

Question 25

Steps of creating energy

Answer 25

1.Coal is burned to turn water into steam
2.Steam goes into a turbine and spins it around
3.The turbine spins a generator that produces energy by moving electrons through a wire

Question 26

Renewables

Answer 26

Wind, hydroelectric, solar & biomass

Question 27

How wind energy works

Answer 27

Wind turns the blades that turn a generator to produce electricity

Question 28

How hydro works

Answer 28

Water in dams is directed in vales to turbines that spin generators to produce energy

Question 29

How solar works

Answer 29

panels use photovoltaic cells to harness energy

Question 30

How biomass works

Answer 30

plant or animal material is burned for energy, and the heat turns a turbine & generator for electricity
