Q

How does a wind turbine work

A

Huge blades called wind turbines use the energy of the wind and convert it to electricity.when there are many of these wind turbines placed together on a piece of land it’s called a wind far when the wind blows it turns the huge blades.these blades then turn the turbines the turbines then give energy to machines called generators,which generate electricity

16
Q

Give eg. Of renewable sources

A

Sun wind water

17
Q

And non

A

Coal oil natural gas

18
Q

What are the 6 steps of hydro electric power

A
  1. water runs into a dam
  2. water flows through big wheels (turbine) In the dam wall
  3. the water turns the wheels
  4. the wheels give energy to a machine called generators,which produce electricity
  5. the electricity runs through power lines into our homes
  6. The water then floss into the sea and then returns to the mountains by the water cycle
19
Q

What is a solar panel

A

A device that uses energy from the sun

20
Q

Describe a solar panel

A

It collects the energy from the sun and trancefers the energy from the sun into electricity or heat.this energy is then sent to our homes through conduction wires.
