6. **Write the descriptions and draw an example of each type of energy ** #11 Solar Energy energy we get from the sun In one hour, more sunlight falls on the earth than what is used by the entire population in one year.

7. #12 Geothermal energy the process of utilizing the Earth’s own natural heat in order to create electricity

8. #13 Wind Energy the wind spins the blades, which turn a shaft connected to a generator that produces electricity

9. #14 Hydropower power that is derived from the force or energy of moving water

10. #15 Nuclear Energy the use of sustained nuclear fission to generate heat and do useful work (not explode!)

11. #16 Biomass biological material from living, or recently living organisms

12. #17 Fossil fuel (Non Renewable) contain high percentages of carbon, include coal, petroleum, and natural gas Fossil fuels are non-renewable resources because they take millions of years to form, and reserves are being depleted much faster than new ones are being made.
