Alternative Energy
Across
- 2. A dye used as an acid-base indicator.
- 3. A gas released from the decomposition of wastes.
- 7. Energy that has the ability to perform work, but is not being used.
- 8. An Energy, as solar, wind, or nuclear energy, that can replace or supplement traditional fossil-fuel sources, as coal, oil, and natural gas.
- 11. Using energy from a fission process for an energy source.
- 14. A deposit of organic material containing stored solar energy that can be used as fuel. The most important are coal, natural gas, and oil.
- 15. An oily, thick, flammable, usually dark-colored liquid
- 17. Ethyl alcohol; most commonly derived by fermentation of plant materials; used as a fuel substitute/replacement for petroleum based fuels.
- 20. The act or process of burning.
- 21. A volatile, flammable liquid mixture of hydrocarbons, obtained from petroleum, and used as fuel for internal-combustion engines, as a solvent, et cetera.
- 22. A combustible mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons that accumulates in porous sedimentary rocks, esp. those yielding petroleum
Down
- 1. Energy taken from heat sources underground, often in volcanically active areas.
- 4. Energy used to perform work.
- 5. A combustible petroleum distillate used as fuel for diesel engines.
- 6. Renewable resources; resources that can be replaced after use through natural means.
- 9. The ability to do work or cause change.
- 10. using the sun as a heat energy source.
- 12. A readily combustible mineral containing more than 50 percent by weight and more than 70 percent by volume of carbonaceous material.
- 13. The use of a natural resource in such a way as to minimize waste and maintain the resource in as good a condition as is practical.
- 16. Producing electricity from water-driven turbine generators.
- 18. A high-speed rotary engine driven by water, wind, steam, or other gases.
- 19. A fuel made primarily from oily plants (such as the soybean or oil palm)
