  1. 4. Energy that comes from the heat beneath the Earth's surface. Geothermal power plants use steam from underground reservoirs to drive turbines and generate electricity. Geothermal energy can also be used for heating and cooling buildings.
  2. 7. Energy of motion of an object
  3. 8. Energy associated with the temperature of an object or system
  4. 9. Energy associated with the nucleus of an atom
  5. 11. Organic matter, such as wood, crops, and animal waste, that can be burned or converted into other forms of energy. Biomass can be used to generate heat and electricity, but burning it releases carbon dioxide and other pollutants into the air.
  6. 12. Energy of position of an object
  7. 13. Energy associated with the movement of electrons through a conductor
  8. 15. Energy that comes from hot water and steam beneath the Earth's surface. Hydrothermal systems can be used to generate electricity by tapping into the energy of geysers, hot springs, and other geothermal features.
  9. 17. The ability to do work, which exists in various forms
Down
  1. 1. Energy associated with the motion and position of an object
  2. 2. Energy that is released during nuclear reactions, such as fission and fusion. Nuclear power plants generate electricity by using the heat released from nuclear reactions to produce steam, which drives turbines.
  3. 3. Energy stored in chemical bonds between atoms and molecules
  4. 5. Energy that comes from sources that can be replenished naturally, such as sunlight, wind, water, and geothermal heat. These sources are infinite and produce little to no greenhouse gas emissions. Examples of renewable energy technologies include solar panels, wind turbines, hydroelectric dams, and geothermal power plants.
  5. 6. A clean-burning fuel that can be produced from various sources, such as natural gas, biomass, and water. When hydrogen is burned, it produces water vapor and no greenhouse gas emissions. Hydrogen can also be used in fuel cells to generate electricity.
  6. 10. Nonrenewable energy sources that come from ancient organic matter, such as coal, oil, and natural gas. They are finite and take millions of years to form. Burning them releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change.
  7. 14. Energy associated with sound waves
  8. 16. Energy associated with electromagnetic radiation
