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. .
