Renewable Energy

2. The process of reducing reserves of a resource.
7. Resources from sources that do not replenish at the same rate that they are used, so eventually, supply will not be able to meet demand.
10. Energy captured from the tidal movements of oceans.
11. Energy derived from organic matter and organisms, such as wood, agricultural waste and compost.
13. Fuels formed in the geological past from the remains of living animals. For example, oil, coal and natural gas.
15. A renewable way of producing electricity by purposefully releasing water through pipes and turbines which turn and create energy which can be converted into electricity.

1. A group of wind turbines that produce electricity at onelocation. They can be either onshore or offshore.
3. A liquid fossil fuel formed under intense pressure over millions of years from the organic remains of tiny sea creatures.
4. Energy captured from the movement of air-turning turbines.
5. A gas formed deep underground from the decay of the remains of plants and animals over millions of years.
6. Energy captured from the heat within the Earth itself.
8. Resources that are not depleted when used, such as wind or solar energy.
9. A device that uses the kinetic energy of some fluid (such as water, steam or air) to turn propellors inside the machine and generate electricity.
12. Energy derived from fission in a nuclear reactor.
13. A resource that will eventually run out.
14. Power generated by converting sunlight into usable energy.
