What kind of energy is burning wood?
Wood is stored energy. The energy from the sun and water and carbon dioxide from the environment has been converted by a plant by photosynthesis into complex starches such as cellulose. These starches can be converted back into energy by various processes, including: * digestion * combustion.
A wood log burning in a fireplace what kind of energy is taking place?
Stored Chemical energy being converted to, and released as Heat energy.
Explain why wood is a fuel but not a fossil fuel?
Wood is a fuel as it can provide energy by burning. But, it is not formed by fossils and hence not called a fossil fuel.
Name an energy transformation that occurs in nature that transforms light energy into chemical energy?
"photosynthesis"
A burning candle is what kind of energy?
A burning candle produces thermal energy and light.
Which energy transformation occurs first in a coal burning power plant?
which energy transformation occurs first in a coal burning power plant
What type of energy transformation does burning match represents?
A match burning is an example of chemical energy transitioning to light and heat energy.
The burning of wood creates what kind of energy?
Energy cannot be created. (Or destroyed) Burning changes the chemical energy of the wood to heat energy and light energy.
What types of energy transformation are occurring when a car is burning gasoline?
Chemical energy to mechanical energy
What is the energy transformation that occurs with the burning of fossil fuels?
Energy transformation involved in terms of industrial processes of burning fuel to make energy.
Example of energy transformation from chemical potential energy to thermal energy?
A log burning in a fire place.
The burning of wood releases what kind of energy?
Thermal energy........
How do you make energy from wood?
By burning it. The heat it lets off will be energy.
Is wood a source of energy?
People have been burning wood for centuries to provide themselves with heat energy.
How can chimical energy be trancedformed into thermal energy?
Since the "law of conservation of energy" states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, all energy is never really destroyed only changed. Chemical energy is converted into thermal energy by certain chemical reactions, like combustion (when something is burned) or when fat is metabolized into heat for the body for example.
What energy transformations takes place when wood is burned?
Well the energy transformation that takes place when wood is burned is CHEMICAL ENERGY---> THERMAL ENERGY.
How does the burning of biomass produce energy?
It just produces thermal energy, in the same way as burning coal or wood.
