Energy Sources

3. Sunlight energy being transformed into electricity using solar panels. This can can be Active or Passive.
8. A technique designed to recover fossil fuels from shale rock where a high-pressure water mixture is directed into the rock to break up the cracks and release the gas and oil inside
10. Energy sources that naturally renew or replenish themselves over a period of time. They are not depleted by use.
13. substances that formed when layers of buried plant, gases, and animals are exposed to intense heat and pressure over a long period of time. (Coal, oil, and natural gas)
14. Heat energy from deep within Earth is used to warm water to heat houses, or heated into steam to turn a turbine and generate electricity.
15. Fossilized carbon that occurs in layers or veins. Solid rock that comes in several different forms
16. Energy created by wind moving the blades of a turbine that turns a generator to create electricity

1. Energy sources that do not naturally replenish themselves; they become depleted by use
2. Flammable, colorless, odorless gas made up of methane and other hydrocarbons
4. A machine made to produce continuous power - usually a wheel or rotor with vanes attached to be turned by water, steam, gas, air, or other fluid.
5. The energy generated by splitting uranium and plutonium atoms into two or more parts and capturing the released energy
6. Energy made by flowing water through tunnels to turn huge turbines to generate electricity.
7. Energy that comes from burning fuels made of materials from plants or microorganisms that were recently living (usually mixed with gasoline)
9. A device or machine that converts mechanical energy into electricity
11. Also known as petroleum or crude oil; thick black liquid made up of hydrogen and carbon found in reservoirs in rock.
12. the extraction of valuable minerals or other materials from the Earth by digging and removing rock containing the desired minerals
