| Natural Gas | Hydrocarbon in gas state |
| Passive Solar Heating | Building is designed to collect and store solar energy |
| Hydroelectric | Electrical power made by moving water |
| Bitomnous | Soft coal up to 85% carbon |
| Geothermal | Heat from interior of earth |
| Ligmite | Soft brown coal forms when peat is compressed & aged 40% carbon |
| Global Warming | ice caps melt & cause the ocean to rise |
| uranium | fissioned to make nuclear power |
| oil shale | high % of carbon compunds rock containingoil |
| Fossil Fuels | Source of most of our energy formed 300 million years ago carboniferous period organic fuels |
| Solar | Uses sun to provide heat and electricity |
| Petroleum | Sedimentary material liquid hydro carbons used to burn natural gas |
| Peat | Compressed mass of plant remains in which mosses, leaves & twigs can still be seen Early stage of coal |
| Energy | Ability to do work |
| Acid Rain | Nitricoxide & sulfurdioxide join with rain water Effects lakes, ponds, forests, & soil |
| Fission | a reaction that can be triggered within the nucleus of the uranium atom |
| Gasahol | mixture of 90% gasoline and 10% alchol from corn |
| Work | Force moving through distance |
| Anthracite | Hard coal 90-95% carbon metamorphic |
| Low Energy Society | based on agriculture |
| Power | How fast you can get work completed |
| Active Solar Heating | Solar collector absorbs heat, heat is transfered to storage, system moves heat through building |
| 5 alternative energy sources | Water Power, Geothermal, Wind, Solar, Tidal |
| 3 Ways to Conserve Energy | Reduce Usage, Use Less energy to do same work, Use Less energy to do more work |
