A rare kind of hot spring

Preserved remains of plants and animals whose bodies were buried in sediments, such as sand and mud, under ancient seas, lakes and rivers.

may either increase or decrease voltage.

A machine that transforms rotational energy from a fluid that is picked up by a rotor system into usable work or energy.

To be filled or built up again.

This refers to resources that can be replenished or regenerated on a human time scale.

7 types of renewable resources

It involves mirrors, lenses, and tracking system that focuses light into a receiver and generates heat. The heat is used to generate electricity from conventional stem-driven turbines.

power harnessed using mounted turbines attached to towers with height ranging from 20 to 100 meter. Modern systems usually have three long blades that spin and cause the turbine to generate electricity.

utilizes the kinetic energy of falling or running water to run a turbine generator and generate electricity.

When the hot ground water is pumped out, it expands and generates steam. The steam is used to run turbines and generate electricity.

The difference in water height is used to change kinetic energy into electrical energy.

is a clean alternative to methane, also known as natural gas.

soft dark-brown, low rank coal 70%carbon

Dull,Black,mid-rank coal 70% carbon

Shiny,black,High-rank coal 96% carbon

Naturally-occurring liquid composed of complex hydrocarbons, and is found in geological formations underneath the Earth’s surface.
Etymology: Latin words petra which means rock, and oleum which means oil.

condition in which the aquatic (water) environment does not contain dissolved oxygen (DO).

Waxy Material

Beyond oil window, oil is converted into natural gas in a process called

a simple chemical compound that is made up of carbon and hydrogen atoms

Mostly made up of methane

It is know as a heart of a nuclear power plant

The heat produced by The reactor is remove by a coolant

The oldest source of energy since pre-historic man discovered fire. derived from living or recently deceased organisms which may include both plant life, including fuel, wood animal dung, and agricultural waste.

The coolant heat is exchange by a heat exchanger which is utilized in raising a steam

Steam produces by a heat exchanger is led to a

The steam drives the to produce Mechanical energy to electrical energy

splits the original large unstable nucleus spontaneously into multiple smaller nuclei through the emission of gamma or neutron radiation.
