Across
- 3. : Power gained from harnessing the energy of the Sun's rays.
- 7. : The device that converts the energy of light into electricity.
- 8. : Energy generated in ways that do not deplete natural resources.
- 9. : Panels designed to absorb the sun's rays as a source of energy for generating electricity or heating.
- 12. : Major area in the Pacific Ocean where many earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur. Has the highest concentration of geothermal energy.
- 14. : Heat energy generated and stored in the Earth.
- 15. : A turbine having a large vaned wheel rotated by the wind to generate electricity.
Down
- 1. : Renewable organic materials (wood and wastes) that can be used as a source of energy. It can be burned directly or processed into biofuels.
- 2. : The action of dividing or splitting something into two or more parts (Produces radioactive elements)
- 4. : Not dependent on public utilities (especially electricity).
- 5. : Energy that is created from moving water, collected usually by dams.
- 6. : A colorless, odorless hydrocarbon gas that is released during the decomposition of plants or other organic compounds. Can be harnessed to generate heat or electricity.
- 10. : Energy that is created by splitting apart the nuclei of atoms.
- 11. : A form of hydropower that converts the energy obtained from the tides into useful forms of power.
- 13. : The radioactive element produced from nuclear power.
