Energy Resources

2. power/ a theoretical form of power generation in which energy will be generated by using nuclear fusion reactions to produce heat
4. / very heavy, fissile metal that can be caused to split in a fission chain reaction
5. Turbine/a propeller-type water turbine which has adjustable blades. It was developed in 1913 by Austrian professor Viktor Kaplan
9. in a reservoir, generating a lot of potential energy
12. / A combustible sedimentary rock made up mostly of carbon and hydrocarbon
13. Energy/ is the capture of energy of wind waves to do useful work
14. power/ the use of nuclear reactions that release nuclear energy to generate heat
16. / We can use this energy to heat water or homes and it can be converted into electricity
17. Gas / a gas that is made up mostly of methane and found near other fossil fuels, like coal
18. Fuel/a fuel, such as firewood, charcoal, chips, sheets, pellets,and sawdust

1. a mixture of different gases produced by the breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen
3. energy encompasses a broad range of fuels including wood and other plant material, food waste, garbage, and manure
6. electricity
7. /energy generated and stored in the Earth
8. / a toxic, flammable liquid occurring in geologic formations beneath the earth's surface
10. / The blades of the turbines turn a shaft which then powers a series of gears that feed into a generator and produce electricity
11. Fuels / made of the fossilized remains of living things that died millions of years ago
15. fusion/a hypothesized type of nuclear reaction that would occur at, or near, room temperature
