- 2. Energy energy is released when atoms' nuclei are fused together (fusion) or split apart (fission). Nuclear power plants produce electricity through nuclear fission.
- 3. energy comes from the force of moving water. Hydropower plants use dams to capture water energy and convert it to electricity.
- 7. energy comes from the sun. It's the primary source of energy for all living things on Earth, and can also be converted into electricity through solar cells.
