Energy Resources

Introduction: The energy resources is everything that could be used by society as a source of energy. Are discovered to be hydro, solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, coal, crude oil, natural gas, and ocean-wave motion and are used to produce power. Are substances chemically classified this way because of their potential ability to produce energy, mostly from the covalent bonds of carbon atoms.

The heat can be used to generate electricity. The heat is used to boil water and turnit into steam. The steam is trapped, and pressure builds up. Then the steam is released. The steam is directed at a big, pinwheel like turbine. When the steam hits the turbine, it causes a spin. The spinning turbine turns a generator to make electricity. All fuels have advantages and disadvantages.

Sources of energy other than the burning of fossils fuels are called "alternative energy sources".Here are some alternative energy sources

• Modern Waterwheels:any whitewater rafter can tell you that running water has a lot of energy, that energy can be harnessed to do work using waterwheels.
• Harnessing the wind: wind, or moving air, can also spin a wheel
• Earth's Furnace: the Earth's interior is very hot. The most common evidence of that heat is simply hot water .
