Sources of energy can be composed of food, sunrays, and
waterfalls.
There are two types of sources of energy: the first being
renewable energy and the second nonrenewable.
Renewable Energy:
·
Wind Energy
o
Windmills are used to generate electricity for
the many purposes needed. However, the amount of energy produced is relatively
small and size of a windmill is quite large.
·
Waterfall Energy
o
Using turbines is another way to produce energy.
Water is used to rotate the turbine henceforth creating energy.
·
Solar Energy
o
With the help of solar panels, it is now
possible to create solar energy. Solar panels are usually placed on the roof of
a house to collect solar energy from the sun.
·
Nuclear Energy
o
The splitting of an atomic nucleus is known as fission. This process can generate a
powerful source of energy.
·
Tidal Energy
o Tidal
power from rivers is used to generate another source of energy.
·
Geothermal Energy
o
The steam that comes from a geyser can be of
help when producing energy.
·
Biomass Energy
o
The energy that comes from plants or animals is
called biomass energy. Alcohol can be made from plants, which then can be used
for fuel.
Nonrenewable Energy:
·
Fossil Fuel
o
Examples: Charcoal, gasoline
