What 4 types of energy does electricity make?

What it thermal energy?
Since the late 60s/early 70s, heat has been considered as energy in transit from a body at a higher temperature to one at a lower temperature. Heat is directly comparable to work, where work describes energy in transit from one form into another.So, heat and work both describe transfers of energy, not energy itself.We can use water as an analogy. When it's vapour, we call it a 'cloud', when it condenses, we call it 'rain', when it's on the ground, we call it a 'puddle'. Well, heat and work are equivalent to 'rain' -water in transit between being a cloud and being a puddle!
Is the temperature of a plasma higher or lower than other states of matter?
We generally think of a plasma as being at a higher temperature than other forms (states) of matter). A plasma exists in an environment where thermal energy is so high that one or more electrons have been "driven out" of the electron cloud around atoms. These atoms have become ions, and the thermal energy is so high that the electrons don't readily "drop back into" their orbitals. The higher the thermal energy, the more electrons are torn out of their orbitals, as you probably guessed.
Does a cloud use energy?
No, clouds do not use energy. I learned that in science class :)
Does a cloud have potential energy?
No. It either has potential or kinetic 'cause the cloud floats in the sky then it moves sometimes it stays still
Which process is required to allow a gravitationally-collapsing gas cloud to continue to collapse?
The cloud must radiate a lot of its thermal energy.

What slow down the contracting of a star forming cloud when it makes a protostar?
trapping of thermal energy inside the protostar
Does Venus gets its energy from the sun or volcanoes?
I'm not sure what you mean by "energy". The temperature of Venus is generally attributed to "Green House Effect" and is the result of the sun's energy being trapped by the Venus cloud cover.
When is thermal energy considered heat?
By the way heat is defined in thermodynamics, it is energy moving from one place to another. By analogy, rain is only rain when it is falling. When it is in the clouds we call it a cloud. Once it makes it to the ground it is just a puddle. Generally heat flows because of thermal gradients.
When was Cloud County Health Center created?
Cloud County Health Center was created in 1903.
Large gas cloud can collapse to become a much smaller spinning disk of gas and What law explains why the center of the cloud becomes so much hotter as the cloud shrinks in size?
the law of conservation of angular momentum Edit: I think it's more likely to be " The Law of Conservation of Energy". Gravitational energy gets changed into heat energy.
How do you make storm in little alchemy?
cloud and wind
What creates a mushroom cloud?
Any large sudden release of thermal energy into the atmosphere. This heat causes a rapid convective updraft (that usually entrains dirt or water) capped by the rising fireball, with a rising convective updraft in its center and a falling convective downdraft on its outside surface. This release of energy can be from conventional explosives, nuclear explosives, meteor impact, etc.
What orbits the center of a atom?
It is somewhat misleading to say that anything orbits the center of an atom. There is an electron cloud that surrounds the center of the atom, but the electrons do not actually orbit, they are just spread out in the form of a cloud.

As moist air rises its temperature will what?
The air temperature rises when particles in the air begin to move faster. The energy of the motion of particles is called thermal energy.
