2. energy within a system that's created by the random motion of molecules and atoms.
5. energy stored as a result of applying a force to deform an elastic object.
6. the process by which heat or electricity is directly transmitted through a substance when there is a difference of temperature or of electrical potential between adjoining regions, without movement of the material.
7. one of the oldest and largest sources of renewable energy.
10. renewable energy from plants and animals
12. When the electricity is made from atoms splitting apart
13. energy possessed by an object due to its motion
15. is any type of energy generated by the sun.
16. materials that facilitate the transfer of heat
17. the energy of either an object in motion or the energy that is stored in objects by their position.
18. the stored energy in an object due to its position, properties, and forces acting on it.

1. the energy stored in an object due to its position in a gravitational field, particularly when it is elevated above the ground.
3. the amount of work that needs to be done on an object to bring an object to its current location from a point of infinite distance.
4. a type of energy that is readily available from chemical reactions, transformations of chemical substances, or biochemical processes.
8. the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat.
9. a material that significantly reduces heat transfer\
11. travels in waves and spans a broad spectrum from very long radio waves to very short gamma rays
14. heat energy from the earth
