The ability to do work or cause change.

The energy an object has because of its motion

Stored energy an object has because of its position or condition.

A chemical process of burning a fuel in oxygen that releases heat and light.

The percentage of energy put into a system that is converted into useful work, not lost as waste heat.

Energy from sources that are naturally replaced in a short time, such as sunlight, wind, moving water, and biomass.

Energy from sources that exist in limited amounts and will run out, such as coal, oil, and natural gas.

A form of energy resulting from the movement of charged particles (electrons) through a conductor.

A surface mining method where layers of soil and rock are removed to expose mineral deposits near the surface.

Mining that removes minerals or other materials that are near Earth’s surface.

A liquid fossil fuel (crude oil) formed from ancient marine organisms and used to make fuels and many products.

Chemicals made from petroleum or natural gas that are used to make plastics, fertilizers, medicines, and other products.

Deposits of sand or clay mixed with heavy, thick oil (bitumen) that can be processed into usable oil.

Sedimentary rocks that contain solid organic material (kerogen) that can be heated to produce oil.

Ice-like crystals under the ocean floor or in permafrost that trap methane gas inside water molecules.

Acidic water that forms when mining exposes certain rocks to air and water, causing chemical reactions that release acids into nearby water.

The practice of using less energy or using energy more wisely to reduce waste.

Energy released from the nucleus of an atom, usually through nuclear fission in power plants.

The process of splitting a large atomic nucleus into smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy.

A device in a power plant where controlled nuclear fission reactions occur to produce heat and generate electricity.

A serious nuclear power plant accident in which the fuel rods overheat and melt, potentially releasing radiation

– Same as #19: splitting large atomic nuclei to release energy.

Question	Answer
energy	The ability to do work or cause change.
kinetic energy	The energy an object has because of its motion
potential energy	Stored energy an object has because of its position or condition.
combustion	A chemical process of burning a fuel in oxygen that releases heat and light.
energy efficiency	The percentage of energy put into a system that is converted into useful work, not lost as waste heat.
renewable energy	Energy from sources that are naturally replaced in a short time, such as sunlight, wind, moving water, and biomass.
nonrenewable	Energy from sources that exist in limited amounts and will run out, such as coal, oil, and natural gas.
electricity	A form of energy resulting from the movement of charged particles (electrons) through a conductor.
srip mining	A surface mining method where layers of soil and rock are removed to expose mineral deposits near the surface.
surface mining	Mining that removes minerals or other materials that are near Earth’s surface.
petroleum	A liquid fossil fuel (crude oil) formed from ancient marine organisms and used to make fuels and many products.
petrochemicals	Chemicals made from petroleum or natural gas that are used to make plastics, fertilizers, medicines, and other products.
oil sands	Deposits of sand or clay mixed with heavy, thick oil (bitumen) that can be processed into usable oil.
oil shales	Sedimentary rocks that contain solid organic material (kerogen) that can be heated to produce oil.
methane hydrate	Ice-like crystals under the ocean floor or in permafrost that trap methane gas inside water molecules.
