This is the purpose of part D. E 500

What is to transfer heat from the fission area and create steam to turn the blades of the turbine? E 500

Nuclear fission is considered a nonrenewable source of energy. This is what nuclear fusion is considered. F 100

What is renewable? F 100

This is a factory where crude oil is separated into fuels and other products by heating. F 200

What is a refinery? F 200

This is the process of burning a fuel to release energy. F 300

What is combustion? F 300

This is an energy-rich substance that formed over a long period of time from the remains of once-living organisms. F 400

What is a fossil fuel? F 400

This is a description of how a hydroelectric power plant produces electricity. F 500

What is a dam across a river blocks the flow of water and creates an artificial lake called a reservoir. Water flows through tunnels at the bottom of the dam. As the water moves through the tunnels, it turns turbines. The turbine’s shaft is connected to magnets surrounded by coils of copper wire. As the shaft rotates, the magnets turn inside the wire coils, producing an electric current? F 500
