Energy from sources that are naturally replenishing but flow-limited; renewable resources are virtually inexhaustible in duration but limited in the amount of energy that is available per unit of time. Renewable Energy

Processes of wind energy 1. Wind turns the turbine blades 2. Spinning the shaft 3. Generating electricity 4. Inverter converts electricity from DC - AC 5. Electricity is connected to mains power or battery or grid lines
Type of renewable energy that refers to a form of energy that harnesses the power of water in motion—such as water flowing over a waterfall—to generate electricity Hydroelectric Energy
3 types of Geothermal Powerplant Dry steam, flash steam, binary cycle

Tidal energy is harnessed from Ocean tides and waves
Type of renewable energy that harnesses energy from sun's heat on ocean and tha waves Tidal and Ocean Thermal Energy
Type of energy that is the transport and capture of energy by ocean surface waves. Wave energy
Type of energy that is the energy available from the difference in the salt concentration between seawater and river water. Osmotic Energy
Types of non-renewable energy Solid Fuels , Crude Oil , Liquid Fuels , Gaseous fuels , Alternative Fuels
Type of non-renewable energy that refers to various types of solid material that are used as fuel to produce energy and provide heating, usually released through combustion. Solid fuels
A combustible black or brownish-black sedimentary rock, formed as rock strata called __ seams, mostly carbon with variable amounts of other elements; chiefly hydrogen, sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen. Coal
Types of coal Peat, Lignite, Bituminous, Anthracite
Type of coal consisting of spongy material formed by the partial decomposition of organic matter, primarily plant material, in wetlands such as swamps, muskegs, bogs, fens, and moors. Peat
Type of coal that is a soft brown coal that still contains a high amount of water, has a higher heat content than peat but is still not the most desired form of coal. However, it makes up almost half of our known coal reserves. Lignite
Type of coal that is formed as more pressure is applied to lignite coal. The greater the pressure applied, the more water is expelled, which increases the amount of pure carbon present and increases the heat content of the coal. Bituminous
Type of coal that is a metamorphic rock and is considered the highest grade coal. It's hard and dark black in color. It has a very light weight when compared to other forms of coal, has the highest heat content. Anthracite
Coal burning and its effects Releases toxins such as S, Pb, Hg and As. Emits large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Exposure to radiation during coal mining.
Grey, hard, and porous fuel with a high carbon content and few impurities, made by heating coal or oil in the absence of air — a destructive distillation process.
Type of non-renewable energy that is a naturally occurring, unrefined petroleum product composed of hydrocarbon deposits and other organic materials. A type of fossil fuel that can be refined to produce usable products. Crude oil
Year rangeaa when Crude Oil when in Baku in the year 1837, where the first commercial oil refinery was established to distill oil into paraffin (used as lamp and heating oil). 1800-1869
Year range when World War I drove global demand for oil and caused prices to rise from $0.81 a barrel in 1914 to $1.98 in 1918. 1914-1949
Year range when after the war, governments looked to nationalize oil production. Formation of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), with the aim of reducing competition between their nations and controlling prices. 1950-2003
Year range when The US invasion of Iraq in 2003 created uncertainty about the future supply of oil, and at the same time, Asian demand (driven by China) increased massively, contributing to a rise from $28.38 in July 2000 to over $146.02 in July 2008. 2003 to present

A flammable property defined as the lowest temperature environment at which a gas or vapor will spontaneously ignite without a distinct/localized ignition source. Ignition Temperature
The lowest temperature at which a substance vaporizes into a gas, which can be ignited with the introduction of an external source of fire. The lower the _, the easier it is to ignite the material. Flash point
the lowest temperature at which a volatile combustible substance continues to burn in air after its vapors have been ignited (as when heating is continued after the flash point has been determined). Fire point
