- 3. Cell- A renewable energy produced by water converted in a car by a special fuel cell
- 4. A renewable resource that uses animal and plant matter or waste. Ex: Corn, Trees, Manure
- 6. Shale- Solid combustible mixture of hydrocarbons called kerogen.
- 9. Hard variety that contains relatively pure carbon and burns with little flame and smoke (cleanest burning)
- 13. Sands- A mixture of clay, sand, water, and organic material called bitumen – thick, sticky heavy oil with a high sulfur content.
- 16. Fission- Splitting of atomic nuclei. Tons of energy produced from a small mass
- 19. Resources- Are natural resources that can be replenished in a short period of time.
- 20. Power- A renewable resource that is unpredictable and indirectly comes from the Sun’s energy
- 21. Power- A renewable energy produced by the tides
- 22. The conversion of organic waste into mulch or humus through natural decomposition
- 24. Power- A nonrenewable resource that burns clean but uses radioactive Uranium as fuel
- 26. A renewable energy from heat underground produced by Earth’s interior
