Across
- 2. the most commonly used fossil fuel for electricity generation.
- 5. Involves breaking up an atom’s nucleus
- 6. this kind of resource is generally readily available, and is replaced quickly or continually.
- 10. The type of energy stored in forces holding atomic nuclei together
- 11. The energy of motion
- 14. considered to be the worst man-made ecological disaster ever
- 15. found in deep underground deposits
- 16. this type of Energy associated with the movement/flow of electrons
- 17. often uses significant amounts of land when the coal deposits sit close to the surface
- 19. Used when coal deposits are deep
Down
- 1. the cleanest burning of the fossil fuels, and is relatively abundant in the US.
- 2. commonly used process for converting stored chemical energy into forms we can use for other things
- 3. This type of energy is the energy in the movement of molecules
- 4. this type of extraction uses natural underground pressure pushes the oil to the surface requiring no additional action.
- 7. This type of energy is Energy of an object due to its position or shape
- 8. water or gas is injected underground to push oil upwards to be collected.
- 9. Oil entering the water can cause serious effects on natural ecosystems this is called
- 12. a well-stimulation technique used commonly in low-permeability rocks like tight sandstone, shale, and some coal beds to increase oil and/or gas flow to a well from petroleum-bearing rock formations.
- 13. this type of resource which can never be replaced, or is replaced too slowly to be practical
- 18. A new nuclear technology being developed which could provide clean and abundant energy.
- 20. This type of energy required to move/change an object’s position
