What is a fossil fuel? F 400
65
This is a description of how a hydroelectric power plant produces electricity. F 500
66
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
