Thermal ENERGY is used to power many things. One of the most common ways of getting thermal energy is by heating coal and other fuels to make smoke or steam, depending on what fuel is used. That smoke ( or steam, whatever) is travels to a turbine and makes it spin, which then powers a generator, thus supplying electricity. In some trains still, they feed coal into the engine to create more heat, and that powers the engine. Sorry about the lack of info on the train part, I'm not really that knowledgeable when it comes to trains.

Is thermal is not a form of energy?
Thermal energy is the energy store within the bonds of atoms. It is heat.
Which form of energy is commonly created as a byproduct when energy changes from one form to another?
Thermal energy
Is lightning a thermal energy?
No. Lightning produces thermal energy, but is actually a form of electrical energy.
Explain why some of the thermal energy is released by a campfire is actually a waste thermal energy?
Any time one form of energy is converted into another form . Some of the original energy always gets converted into thermal energy
What does a change form a liquid to a solid involve in thermal energy?
It involves a loss of thermal energy.

No. Lightning produces thermal energy, but is actually a form of electrical energy.
How is heat different from thermal energy?
There is no particular difference between heat and thermal energy. Heat is a form of thermal energy. Since thermal energy is energy from heat, heat and thermal energy are basically the same thing.

How does temperature form thermal energy?
It doesn't, Temperature is a MEASURE of the thermal energy state of something.
What form of energy changes water from liquid to gas?
Thermal Thermal
What thermal energy?
Thermal energy is also known as heat energy. It is a form of energy which travels due to the temperature gradient.
What form of energy is converted into thermal energy by your body.?
Chemical energy.
What is the form of energy that is produced by the movement of molecules in a substance?
It's called thermal energy, and it manifests itself as an increase of temperature.
