What is one advantage of geothermal energy?

• Only available in certain locations

• No air pollution is produced

• Wind is inconsistent

• Mining destroys land

What type of energy is coal gas?

• Renewable gas

• Non-renewable gas

Match the following

• Solar Power

• The energy harnessed from the movement of water, usually in the form of flowing or falling water

• Fossil Fuels

• The conversion of radiant (light) energy into electric energy.

• Wind Turbines

• The unequal heating of air masses causes movement of air which spins turbines (kinetic energy) to create electric energy.

• Hydroelectric Power

• Energy sources that are created by the burning of ancient buried organic matter and extracted as coal, petroleum, and natural gas

• Biofuel or BIomass

• The energy produced from the conversion of modern organic matter such plants or animal waste into fuel
