Check the FOUR things hydropower and wind power have in common.

They are renewable and do not produce greenhouse gases.

Their energy can be converted to mechanical energy, then electric.

They are nonrenewable resources.

They have been used for thousands of years.

Both use wind and fossil fuels to generate electricity.

Coal, oil, and natural gas are called fossil fuels because they __________.

come from decomposed plans and animals that lived millions of years ago

release carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, when they are burned

store potential energy that can be transformed into electricity

will be used up eventually and cannot be replaced in our lifetime

A solar cooker does not use fuel but works well on a sunny day. How does a solar cooker work?

It converts sunlight to heat for cooking.

It transforms food energy into kinetic energy.

It uses stored energy to create heat.

A hamburger cooks on a hot griddle because ____________.

the griddle uses heat; heat is energy, and energy causes change

heat from the griddle transfers to the meat

heat moves from the griddle to the uncooked meat

Why are scientists working to further develop wind, water, and solar power as energy sources?

These energy sources are renewable; they will not run out.

Earth's supply of coal, oil, and natural gas will eventually run out.

Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas.

What are TWO reasons why fossil fuels are called nonrenewable energy sources?

They took hundreds of millions of years to form.

They cannot be replaced in our lifetime.

They cannot be used to generate energy.

Coal, oil, and natural gas are called fossil fuels because they ____________________.

come from decomposed organisms that lived many years ago

release carbon dioxide, greenhouse gas, when they are burned

store potential energy that can be transformed into electricity

will be used up eventually and cannot be replaced in our lifetime

What are two disadvantages of using fossil fuels for energy?

Humans will use up Earth's fossil fuels, and they cannot be replaced.

Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas.

Fossil fuels depend on weather, and weather is always changing.

Fossil fuels do not contain the potential energy that people need.

People use energy for lighting, heat, and transportation. This energy is converted from __________.

potential energy stored in fossil fuels and renewable energy sources

places where people create the energy they need

gravity, magnetism, and electricity

What is energy transformation?

one form of energy is converted into another form

energy gets used up and then gets replaced

How is wind energy good for the environment?

Wind energy does not create pollution.

Tall wind turbines cover the landscape.

Wind farms take the place of vegetable farms.

Wind farms interfered with bird migration.

Why is wind energy considered a renewable resource?

It has advantages and disadvantages.

Which of these shows how wind can be converted to energy people can use in their homes?

wind energy --> mechanical energy --> electricity

thermal energy --> light energy --> potential energy

electricity --> mechanical energy --> wind energy

mechanical energy --> wind energy --> thermal energy

As engineers develop wind power, what constraint might they face?

Wind farms can only be built where there are strong consistent winds.

Only certain materials can be used to build turbines.

The wind energy industry is growing in the United States.
