- ENERGY
- transferred
- radiation
- Radiation is how we can feel the heat of the Sun, even though it is millions of kilometres away in space
- Infrared cameras give images even in the dark, because they are detecting heat, not visible light
- conduction
- heating a substance casuing it to vibrate
- convection
- particles with lots of thermal energy take the plave ofn particles with less
- radiation
- non-renewable
- fossil fuels
- coal
- natural gas
- oil
- Renewable energy resources can be replaced, and will not run out
- Non-renewable energy resources cannot be replaced once they are all used up
- fossil fuels
- renewable
- water power
- transferred to kinetic
- solar power
- solar panels
- biomass
- waste/natural
- wind power
- wind turbines
- geothermal
- water power
- thermal
- other types
- kinetic
- energy cteated by movement
- solar
- chemical
- energy that comes from heat
- gravitational
- formed from the pull of gravity from high places e.g. mountain
- elastic
- nucleur
- sound
- created by vibrations
- electrical
- trasfers stored chemical energy into sound/light
- kinetic
- saving energy
- generating
- using wave power or tidal power
- using hydroelectric power schemes
- using solar cells
- using wind turbines
- in power stations using fossil fuels or biomass fuel
- reducing
- walk to instead of getting using cars where possible
- turn down the heating
- turn off the lights when leaving the room
- generating
- transferred
