1. heat
2. mechanical
3. it uses Uranium, which is nonrenewable
4.) KE spins turbine which creates electrical energy when the magnet attached induces a current in wire.
5. kinetic
1 = heat
2=kinetic
3=as urauim is running out
4=by the magnets spinning in a generator
5=eletricity
6=geothermal
7=string
8=reneable or methane(ch4)
9=they produce CO2 in the burnimg
10=as a large area is need to collect it and not all city get the light needed
11=as land needs to be flooded and the intinal cost is high and not all sites are suitable
1) Heat
2) Heat
3) It uses uranium that is mined from the earch
4) Falling water is used to turn the generator.
5) Electrical energy.
6) Geothermal
7) Not sure what they want here, maybe you should read your book.
8) Biofuel
9) Greenhouse gasses, polution
10) It can, but it will take a large investment and methods to strore energy.
11) There can be ecological effects of a dam
1thermal energy
2Mechanical energy into electrical energy
3fuels are mined from earth and they will end one day
4Water head is used to drive turbine and it drives generator.
5electrical energy
6Geothermal
7springs
8biofuels
9 They produce pollution,they will not be av avilable for ever
10 present technology is costly,storage is not possible at large scale for night use.
11 dams waste land,damage eccosystems,depends upon rainfall/
