  1. 3. energy Produced by the internal heat of the earth.
  2. 6. energy Moves back and forth from potential (stored) energy to kinetic (moving) energy.
  3. 10. energy Energy of motion.
  4. 11. energy Energy from moving molecules, related to heat.
  5. 13. energy energy Energy obtained by harnessing tidal power.
  6. 14. Energy Budget Accounts for the balance between the energy that Earth receives from the Sun, and the energy the Earth radiates back into outer space.
  7. 18. Produced from vegetable oils, animal fats, and other byproducts of human waste.
