Across
  1. 2. he process of converting various forms of potential energy found in nature into usable electricity.
  2. 4. energy is power generated from natural sources that replenish themselves
  3. 6. energy that travels through materials as waves
  4. 9. Power generated by tapping into the intense, natural heat stored deep underground within the Earth.
  5. 11. transfer of heat through the movement of fluid
  6. 12. when microscopic particles—like atoms and molecules—speed up and move faster.
  7. 14. Power captured from the sun's light and heat, often using photovoltaic panels to generate clean electricity.
Down
  1. 1. power generated from natural resources that exist in limited amounts and cannot be replaced once they are completely used up.
  2. 3. A material that blocks or drastically slows the transfer of electricity, heat, or sound.
  3. 5. transfer of heat through direct contact
  4. 7. The physical distance from the top of one wave to the top of the next, which decides its type of radiation.
  5. 8. Electricity generated by capturing the kinetic energy of moving water, typically using a dam to turn turbines
  6. 10. a measure of how much light and energy a surface reflects back into space compared to how much it absorbs
  7. 13. Atmospheric compounds, like carbon dioxide, that trap thermal energy to warm the planet.
  8. 15. The practice of cultivating soil, producing crops, and raising livestock to provide food, fiber, and other products.
