Energy Resources
Across
- 3. protecting species from extinction, maintaining and restoring habitats, enhancing ecosystem services and protecting biological diversity.
- 5. the process of creating electricity using the wind, or air flows that occur naturally in the earth's atmosphere.
- 8. power derived from the energy of falling or fast-running water
- 9. a combustible black or dark brown rock consisting mainly of carbonized plant matter, found mainly in underground deposits and widely used as fuel.
- 10. a viscous liquid derived from petroleum, especially for use as a fuel or lubricant.
- 11. energy produced from sources that do not deplete or can be replenished within a human's life time.
- 12. heat derived within the sub-surface of the earth.
- 14. radiant energy emitted by the sun.
- 15. flammable gas, consisting largely of methane and other hydrocarbons, occurring naturally underground (often in association with petroleum) and used as fuel.
Down
- 1. a zero-emission fuel burned with oxygen.
- 2. a natural fuel such as coal or gas, formed in the geological past from the remains of living organisms.
- 4. sources that will run out or will not be replenished in our lifetimes.
- 6. the use of nuclear reactions that release nuclear energy to generate heat
- 7. the act of maintaining (something) in its original or existing state.
- 13. plant or animal material used for energy production, or in various industrial processes as raw material for a range of products.
