Energy Resources

Question 1

Energy resources (7)

Answer 1

-nuclear energy
-fossil energy – like oil, coal and natural gas
-wind
-solar
-geothermal
- chemical
- hydropower

Question 2

Non - renewable resources

Answer 2

Fossil fuels
Nuclear
Chemical

Question 3

Renewable sources

Answer 3

Solar
Wind
Hydroelectric
Geothermal

Question 4

generates power through fission, which is the process of splitting uranium atoms to produce energy. The heat released by fission is used to create steam that spins a turbine to generate electricity

Answer 4

Nuclear energy

Question 5

When there’s a chemical reaction between the molecules of chemical compounds, a new substance may form, and energy may be released

Answer 5

Chemical energy

Question 6

burns coal or oil to create heat which is in turn used to generate steam to drive turbines which generate electricity

Answer 6

Fossil fuels

Question 7

works by converting energy from the sun into power

Answer 7

Solar energy

Question 8

wind turbines use wind to make electricity. Wind turns the propeller-like blades of a turbine around a rotor, which spins a generator, which creates electricity

Answer 8

Wind energy

Question 9

They are all powered by the kinetic energy of flowing water as it moves downstream. Hydropower utilizes turbines and generators to convert that kinetic energy into electricity, which is then fed into the electrical grid to power homes, businesses, and industries

Answer 9

Hydroelectric energy

Question 10

Small underground pathways, such as fractures, conduct fluids through the hot rocks. In geothermal electricity generation, this fluid can be drawn as energy in the form of heat through wells to the earth’s surface. At the surface, that energy is converted to steam, which drives turbines that produce electricity

Answer 10

Geothermal energy
