Sources of energysssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

1. Chapter summary

5. Solar energy refers to capturing the energy from the Sun
and subsequently converting it into electricity. ... We can
also use the term solar power with the same meaning. The
Sun's energy is in the form of solar radiation.

6.  The most common type of hydroelectric power plant is an
impoundment facility. An impoundment facility, typically a
large hydropower system, uses a dam to store river water in a
reservoir. Water released from the reservoir flows through a turbine,
spinning it, which in turn activates a generator to
produce electricity.

7. A thermal power station is a power station in
which heat energy is converted to electric power. In
most of the places in the world the turbine is
steam-driven. Water is heated, turns into steam
and spins a steam turbine which drives an
electrical generator.

9. Energy From the Sea. Tidal power is classified as a
renewable energy source, because tides are caused by the
orbital mechanics of the solar system. The root source of
the energy is the orbital kinetic energy of the earth-moon
system, and also the earth-sun system.

10.  Geothermal energy is the heat from the Earth. It's clean and
sustainable. Resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow
ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the
Earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high
temperatures of molten rock called magma.

11.  Nuclear energy is the energy that holds together the nucleus of
atoms. Atoms are the most simple blocks that make up matter.
Every atom has in its center a very small nucleus. Normally, nuclear
energy is hidden inside the atoms. ... Fission is also used
in nuclear power plants to make electricity.
