Combustible black liquid formed millions of years ago from dead organic matter on the ocean floor, rivers and swamps.
Used in creating nuclear energy. The atom is split in a process called fission. When an atom is split it causes a chain reaction which releases neutrons that split more atoms. This reaction produces a lot of heat energy.
Energy obtained by turbine engines powered by the movement of air.
Renewable organic plant or animal matter such as wood or animal waste including sewage. This can be burned in boilers to produce steam that can then be used to create electricity.
Energy harnessed from the back and forth movement of the water of the seas and oceans mainly caused by wind blowing over the surface.
Combustible vapour formed millions of years ago from dead organic matter on the ocean floor, rivers and swamps. It is composed mainly of methane (a compound of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms).
Technology which obtains usable energy from the light and heat of a star.
Combustible black or brownish-black sedimentary rock composed mostly of carbon and hydrocarbons. Formed around 300 million years ago from the energy stored in dead plants and other living matter.
Kinetic energy that comes from flowing water that can spin a turbine to create electricity.
