- 2. Capable of being renewed, not depleted when used.
- 3. Relating to or resulting from motion.
- 5. Electric or motive power generated by a nuclear reactor. (7,5)
- 7. Energy derived from the movement of water. Water has mass. It falls and flows downward due to gravity. When it moves, it has kinetic energy which can be harnessed. (5-10)
- 8. A combustible black or dark brown rock consisting chiefly of carbonized plant matter, found mainly in underground seams and used as fuel.
- 9. Radiant energy emitted by the sun.
- 10. An air-like fluid substance which expands freely to fill any space available, irrespective of its quantity.
- 11. A viscous liquid derived from petroleum, especially for use as a fuel or lubricant.
- 13. A renewable energy source from living or recently living plant and animal materials which can be used as fuel.

- 1. A type of primary battery dependent upon the reaction between zinc and manganese dioxide (Zn/MnO2). (8,9)
- 3. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, observable as the movement of an object, particle, or set of particles. (7,7)
- 4. A form of hydropower that converts the energy of the tides into electricity or other useful forms of power.
- 6. A secondary alkaline battery which allows reuse of specially designed cells. (2-10)
- 12. Electrical energy obtained from harnessing the wind with windmills or wind turbines.
