What is the second largest source of energy after fossil fuels?
Hydraulic (water) and Nuclear.
What does heat from fossil fuels used to boil water turn into in order to generate electricity?
Heat from fossil fuels is used to boil water and turn it into steam in order to generate electricty.
How does nuclear energy differ from fossil fuels?
With fossil fuels we burn them to produce heat. With nuclear fuel we produce a nuclear chain reaction in a reactor which produces heat. Using the heat to produce electricity is the same for both types of fuel.
Does burning fossil fuels affect the water cycle?
No, the burning of fossil fuels affects the carbon cycle, but not the water cycle.
Water pollution can occur from burning fossil fuels due to?
Water pollution can occur from burning fossil fuels due to the acid rain. Fossil fuels will pollute the atmosphere which will result into acid rain.
What do power plants use to turn a generator?
Steam, created by heating water through the burning of fossil fuels or through nuclear reactions.
What do most plants use to turn a generator?
Steam, created by heating water through the burning of fossil fuels or through nuclear reactions.
What fuels are used to heat the water to steam?
The fuel can be fossil fuel, ie coal oil,or natural gas, or it can be uranium in nuclear plants.
What Fossil fuel nuclear plants both heat water in order to turn?
turbines
Examples of fuels which are not fossil fuels?
There are lots of non-fossil fuels, fossil fuels are non-renewable, other fuels such as wind power or water power are renewable meaning they can be replaced, nuclear power and wood are also non-fossil fuels.
Which fuels does not emit water vapor?
For example, nuclear fuels.
What do most power plants use to turn a generator?
Steam, created by heating water through the burning of fossil fuels or through nuclear reactions.
