5 Written Questions

1. A resource that is burned to produce steam to run electric generators. Largest producer of electricity.
2. A resource that is used in heating systems, in stoves, ovens, and some vehicles. It is the cleanest burning fossil fuel.
3. A resource where falling water turns a turbine in a dam, which is connected to a generator that converts kinetic energy into electrical energy.
4. A resource that uses the uneven heating of the earths surface. The kinetic energy of the wind turn the blades of a windmill/wind turbine. The turbine then converts the kinetic energy into electric energy by rotating a generator.
5. Conserving energy to lessen the amount of resources used.
