are known as fossil fuels because they were formed from the fossilized remains of animals or plants that lived long ago.
Слайд 6
Nuclear Power
Nuclear power plants use the heat from
splitting atoms to convert water into the steam that
turns turbines.
Слайд 7
Renewable Resources Renewable energy resources can be
replenished in a short period of time, so they
will never be all used up. Energy companies all over the world are using renewable resources more and more to generate electricity.
Слайд 8
Biomass
Biomass is organic matter, such as agricultural wastes,
and wood chips and bark left over when lumber
is produced. Biomass can be burned to heat water to make steam, which turns a turbine to make electricity. It can also be converted into a gas, which can be burned to do the same thing.
