- 6. Plant materials and animal waste used especially as a source of fuel.
- 9. The energy that a piece of matter has because of its position or nature or because of the arrangement of parts.
- 10. A measure of power equal to one joule of work per second.
- 14. The ability to do work; types include heat, light, sound, chemical, nuclear, mechanical, electrical.
- 15. Energy derived from wind by means of windmills or wind turbines.
- 16. The phenomenon whereby the earth's atmosphere traps solar radiation, caused by the presence in the atmosphere of gases such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, and methane that allow incoming sunlight to pass through but absorb heat radiated back from the earth's surface.
- 17. A natural fuel such as coal or gas formed in the geological past from the remains of living organisms.
- 20. Energy stored in the earth in the form of heat.
- 21. The ratio of the useful energy delivered by a dynamic system to the energy supplied to it.
