Sources for kinetic energy
Steam
Combustion gases
Flowing water
Wind

Natural process
Absorption of sun energy
By land and water
Some released back into space but greenhouse gases from natural processes
Prevent heat going heat from going back to space
Keeping earth warm
To sustain life
Greenhouse human effect
Increase greenhouse gases
Extra CO2 in atmosphere
Crates thick band
That surrounds earth
When suns heat is reflected
Extra heat
Gets trapped by thick band
Instead of being reflected back into space
The earth getting warmer
Global warming
Renewable energy
Generated fron natural resources
The naturally resources
And never run out
Examples of renewable
Solar
Wind
Hydro
