water

b)

oil

c)

air

d)

the turbine

10.

Energy production in thermal power plants as well as with hydroelectric, wind and wave or tidal power all produce electricity by

a)

turning a turbine that runs the generator to make electricity that is taken to homes and businesses through transmission lines

b)

the energy source directly runs the generator that then turns a turbine which produces the electricity that is taken to homes and businesses through transmission lines
