How are fossil fuels used in a power station to generate energy?
fossil fuels are burned to create steam which turns these huge turbines which produces electricity hope this helped it is also a form of energy
The main energy resource used by industrialized countries is?
fossil fuels
How are nuclear fuels in power stations to generate electricity?
Think of a nuclear power station as a slowed down nuclear bomb. The heat energy released in the fission process is used to turn water into steam to drive electric turbine generators.
Can nuclear plants help conserve energy?
They can help conserve other fuels which are used to generate energy. They can be used in place of those fuels but they, along with all power plants, generate energy they do not conserve it.
Give two examples of where renewable energy resources could be used instead of fossil fuels?
What are the two fuels used in nuclear power station?
Uranium and Thorium
Is it true that coal and natural gas are the main fossil fuels used in nuclear power stations?
Fossil fuels are not used in nuclear power stations. Nuclear fuel is used (uranium)
How is electricity generated in a power station by using fossil fuels?
Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) is used to boil water. The steam is used to spin electricity turbines and this generates electricity.
How are fossil fuels used in a power station to generate energy?

What is backup power source?
the different types of fuels that can be used to produce electricity
What are fossil fuels used for?
Fossil fuels are used to generate electricity in our homes and for to power our automobiles and other vehicles and power tools.
What fossil fuels are used in power plants?
All fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are used in power plants.
Where can fossil fuels be used?
Fossil fuels are used in thermal power stations for production of electricity. They are used as automobile fuels i.e petroleum. They are used in factories and industries as power source like in Iron or Steel industries.
How is the turbine rotated in a power station?
In a power station that uses fossil fuels, The fuel is burnt and the heat used to generate steam. The steam is then injected onto the turbine blades, making it turn.In Hydro elcectric stations, special water turbines are used. Water pressure is used to turn the turbine blades directly.
Do geothermal power stations make pollution?
No. Construction equipment used to build the station will burn fossil fuels and produce some pollution. When the station is complete it will produce pollution free electricity. The station will require some electric power from the grid to operate, and some of that electricity may be produced by coal powered plants which do produce pollution, but the geothermal power station will not produce pollution.
What are Fossill Fuels?
Examples of fossil fuels are coal, oil and natural gas. Fossil fuels are nonrenewable energy sources which can be used to make electricity in a power station but it is very bad for the planet and global warming. Fossil fuels are running out slowly so we need to think of something else which is a renewable source of energy.
What are the 4 main resources used to generate electricity in New Zealand?
Hydroelectric lakes, geothermal energy, wind power and fossil fuels.
