  3. 5. Oil.
  4. 6. A result of a force moving an object a certain distance.
  5. 7. Cell A device that converts light into electricity.
  6. 10. The ability to do work; types include heat, light, sound, chemical, nuclear, mechanical, electrical.
  7. 13. A unit measure of work.
  8. 15. The heat equal to 1/180 of the heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water from 32 degrees Fahrenheit to 212 degrees Fahrenheit at a constant pressure of one atmosphere.
  9. 16. Energy Energy associated with the flow of electrons.
  10. 18. Energy stored in the earth in the form of heat.
  11. 20. Effect The phenomenon whereby the earth's atmosphere traps solar radiation, caused by the presence in the atmosphere of gases such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, and methane that allow incoming sunlight to pass through but absorb heat radiated back from the earth's surface.
  12. 23. Energy The energy possessed by a body as a result of its motion.
  13. 25. Energy Any source of energy that is limited and cannot be replaced when it is used, such as oil, coal, and natural gas.
