- ENERGY RESOURCES
- geothermal power stations
- water is pumped underground and gains heat energy from the hot rock deep underground
- coal, oil and gas fired power stations
- the chemical energy in the fual is released by burning.
- hydroelectric power station
- the gravitaional potential energy of the falling water
- solar cells
- the light energy from the sun is transformed to electrical energy in the solar cell
- solar power stations
- the heat energy from the sun is concentrated by a series of curved mirrors
- wave power
- as the turbines come in , the water builds up behind the dam and gains gravitaional potantial energy.
- tidal power
- the water builds up behind the dam and gains gravitational potential energy
- nuclear power
- the nuclear energy stored in uranium-235 is released when the uranium nuclei split in a process called nuclear fission.
- geothermal power stations
