Chemical energy - This form of energy is stored in chemical compounds and is released in chemical reactions. , Electrical energy - This form of energy is the movement of small charged particles called electrons. This form of energy travels through power lines and cables. , Thermal energy - This type of energy is also known as heat energy., Nuclear energy - This form of energy is produced using converted uranium. This form of energy produces radioactive waste that remains dangerous for thousands of years. , Solar/Radiant energy - This form of energy is in the form of electromagnetic waves. One example of this energy is light from the sun. , Sound energy - This form of energy is produced when particles vibrate and produce energy that travels in waves to your ears., Mechanical energy - This form of energy is the combination of potential and kinetic energy. , Kinetic energy - A moving object has this energy, Potential energy - An object at a height has this energy until it moves , Fossil Fuels - This fuel is formed from plants and trees that lived millions of years ago. , Petroleum - A black liquid which is formed from decaying animals and plants. , Coal - A major source of fuel throughout the world that is made of carbon and extracted from mines. , Natural gas - This fuel is used for heating and cooking in homes, but can also be used to generate electricity in power plants , Wind energy - These turbines are used to produce what kind of energy? , Tidal energy - This type of energy is produced by converting the movement of the ocean tides into electrical energy, Geothermal energy - This energy works by using the heat from deep inside the earth to heat water and make steam. , Acid rain - This is caused by sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere as a result of burning fossil fuels. These gases combine with oxygen and water in the air to form acid rains that fall to Earth as precipitation. , Greenhouse effect - This is when the gases in the Earth's atmosphere store heat from the sun. ,
