Where does nuclear energy come from?

• Electric generators

• radioactive elements

• fossil fuels

• geothermal energy

Some power plants pump water down deep holes into hot rock. The hot rock heats the water, which turns the water into steam. The steam rushes back to Earth’s surface and is used to make electricity. This plant is generating which alternative energy resource?

• biomass
• wind
• solar energy
• geothermal energy
