Forms of Energy Getting Heated Star Power Fossil Fuels Coming Clean About Energy
100
What is Radiant Energy
Examples of this form of energy include the light we receive from the sun and the microwaves we use to pop popcorn.
100
What is Created nor Destroyed
Since energy can neither be this nor this, it is constantly moving or changing form.
100
What are Hydrogen and Helium
The Sun is primarily made of these two gas molecules.
100
What is Climate
Weather refers to the moment-to-moment atmospheric conditions, while this refers to the long-term averages that change slowly.
100
What is a Turbine
Like many energy resources, wind power involves spinning one of these machines to generate electricity.
200
What is Kinetic Energy
Objects in motion have high amounts of this type of energy.
200
What is Temperature
Heat refers to energy being transferred from one substance to another, while this measures the speed at which particles move when they gain heat energy.
200
What is Nuclear Fusion
Intense pressure in the Sun's core causes this process, combining light elements into heavier ones and releasing lots of energy.
200
What are Greenhouse Gases
This category of gases allow visible light to shine through but trap heat radiating back up from the Earth's surface.
200
What is Geothermal
This renewable energy resource uses heat from within the Earth to produce electricity.
300
What is Potential Energy
This stored energy is released when an object moves, like a roller coaster at the top of a hill ready to roll down.
300
What is Radiation
The Sun shares its energy with us through this form of heat transfer.
300
What is Ultraviolet (UV)
Atmospheric ozone absorbs a lot of this energy wavelength, protecting our skin from damage.
300
What is Coal
This solid fuel is produced from ancient plants and is mined to produce more electricity than any other fuel source in the US.
300
What are Hydroelectric Dams
These types of dams harness the kinetic energy of rivers to produce power.
400
What is Thermal Energy
A frozen turkey left out to thaw is gaining this form of energy as its molecules start to move faster.
400
What is Conduction
This form of heat transfer occurs when two objects of different temperature make direct contact.
400
What is Infrared
The heat we feel from the Sun is transmitted by this wavelength of radiation.
400
What is Crude Oil
Gasoline is a refined version of this liquid fossil fuel.
400
What is Uranium
This radioactive element is mined to be the primary fuel source for Nuclear Power Plants.
500
What are Chemical Bonds
Chemical energy is stored in these between the atoms of molecules.
500
What is Convection
Energy moves through our atmosphere by hot air rising and cold air falling, which is known as this process.
500
What is a Nebula
The Sun was formed when one of these giant clouds of gas collapsed due to its own gravity.
500
What is Natural Gas
This fossil fuel burns cleaner than the other two, but leaks can still be very dangerous.
500
What is Biofuel
This fuel source is considered "carbon neutral" because growing the materials to make it absorbs carbon dioxide.
