Energy Resources

2. The splitting of a heavy, unstable nucleus into two lighter nuclei.
3. Power produced by the surge of ocean waters during the rise and fall of tides.
6. The use of nuclear reactions to produce electricity.
8. Windows, walls, and floors are made to collect, store, reflect, and distribute solar energy, in the form of heat.
10. Loose sands or partially consolidated sandstone containing a naturally occurring mixture of sand, clay, and water, soaked with petroleum.
11. A form of sedimentary rock that contains a petroleum-like liquid when heated.
12. Obtained by the refining and processing of petroleum or natural gas.
14. Resources which are naturally replenished.
15. Uses solar energy to heat a fluid, either liquid or air, and then transfer the solar heat directly to the interior space.
19. Energy from sources that will eventually run out.
20. Chemical reaction between a fuel and oxygen.
21. Any fuel that is derived from plant or algae material or animal waste.
23. Also known as crude oil and oil.
24. Uses the natural flow of moving water to generate electricity.
25. The energy held by an object because of its position relative to other objects.

1. The energy that an object possesses due to its motion.
4. A device that converts the wind's kinetic energy into electrical energy.
5. A group of wind turbines in the same location used to produce electricity.
7. When two or more atomic nuclei are combined to form one or more different atomic nuclei.
9. A byproduct from nuclear reactors.
13. Using less energy to perform the same task.
16. The conversion of light into electricity using semiconducting materials.
17. Energy from heat within the earth.
18. When fuel overheats and melts the reactor core or shielding.
22. The capacity for doing work.
