Apes Unit 6
Across
- 3. Liquid fuels created from biomass such as corn, sugar can, or palm oil
- 5. Second most energy dense form of coal
- 7. Fuel Source used for home heating or cooking
- 8. Country with most coal reserves
- 12. Decaying organic matter trapped under rock layers compressed into oil
- 13. Most energy dense and valuable form of coal; Takes longer to form
- 14. Generates electricity by firing a neutron into the nucleus of a radioactive element such as uranium
- 16. Decaying remains of plats and animals buried under rocks converted by pressure into gas
- 18. Energy generated from naturally heated water reservoirs underground
- 19. Energy source that exists in fixed amounts/cant be replaced
Down
- 1. Contains a semiconductor that emits a low voltage electrical current when exposed to sunlight; also known as solar panels
- 2. Electricity generated from the kinetic energy of moving water
- 4. Nuclear meltdown in Japan caused by a tsunami and earthquake which lead to the explosion of the reactor core releasing widespread radiation
- 6. Generated from turbines spun by kinetic energy of moving air
- 9. Organic matter such as wood or dead leaves that are burned to release heat
- 10. Country with most Nat. gas reserves
- 11. Energy source that can be replenished
- 15. Pressurized water releases trapped gas by cracking semi-permeable sedimentary rocks
- 17. Country with most oil reserves
- 20. Cheapest and Least energy dense form of coal
