The ability to do work is energy.

true

False

Non renewable energy source produced from atomic reactions of fission.

hydroelectric

wind

nuclear

solar

The Sun's energy is collected and converted to electrical energy; this energy is a renewable resource.

wind

geothermal

solar

nuclear

A large enough concentration of a mineral making it profitable to mine.

fossil fuel

reserve

ore

Turbines use movement of air to convert it to electrical energy; is a renewable resource.

hydroelectric

geothermal

wind

solar

An energy resource that takes millions of years to form from the remains of plants and animals - coal, oil, natural gas, and uranium.

biomass

renewable

nonrenewable

ore

Energy made from once living things - wood, garbage, alchohol.

geothermal

solar

biomass

coal

An amount of fossil fuel that can be extracted from the ground to make a profit.

ore

reserve

nuclear fuel

A hard, black solid fuel formed from the remains of plants over millions of years; a nonrenewable fossil fuel that is mined.

natural gas

methane

coal

petroleum

The splitting of the nucleus of an atom to make energy.

geothermal

fusion

solar

fission

An energy resource such as trees or wind that is replaceable by natural means in a short period of time is called a renewable resource.

true

false

Using old materials to make new products is reducing.

true

False

A source or supply of energy that can be used to generate electrical power at a profit is a reserve.

true

false

Heat from beneath the surface of the Earth used to produce electrical energy from steam.

solar

hydroelectric

geothermal

wind

A black liquid used for heating homes, making gasoline or for plastics; it is a nonrenewable fossil fuel that is pumped from the ground.

coal

petroleum

natural gas

A natural, non-renewable fuel such as coal, oil, or natural gas formed millions of years ago.

biomass

fossil fuel

water

A renewable source of energy based on the movement of water.

geothermal
