What does it mean when it says what forms of potential energy were displayed in the illustrations?
I assumed this question is on symbol interpretation. There are symbol on energy, for instance atom is for nuclear energy, lightning is for electricity, fire is for thermal energy, wood/plant is fuel derived from wood/plant, oil barrel for oil. From above example, wood/plant fuel is chemical potential and nuclear fuel is nuclear potential energy.
What are all the different types of energy?
All of the different types of energy are the following: -Nuclear -coal -oil -gas -solar -geothermal.
What type of potential energy can be burned to supply heat?
a log or even a gasoline soaked cloth. anything that is capable of possessing energy like a rubber band.
What is an example of potential stored energy?
If a rock is balanced on the edge of a cliff if has gravitational potential energy because it could gain kinetic energy (movement) which no input of energy. as the rock fall the gravitational potential energy is turned into kinetic energy as it runs out of height to speed up in. Batteries have electrical potential energy because they can give an electrical current by using up their power. Hydrocarbons like wood, fat and oil have chemical potential energy because they can give off heat and light energy when they are chemically reacted (combusted/burned). A spring has elastic potential energy because it can go from not moving to moving without being pushed or thrown, it converts the tension in it's fibres into kinetic energy while trying to return to it's original shape. I hope this answer is useful to you.
What accounts for the potential energy stored inn things like food and oil?
This is potential chemical energy. It needs something else to make the energy release. In the case of food it is enzymes in the stomach which enable us and animals to digest the food to get the energy from it. In the case of oil it requires oxygen to burn it.

What happens if you don't burn off energy?
A fuel such as coal or oil contains what might be called 'potential chemical energy'. The potential energy will remain there until the fuel is ignited and then the reaction with oxygen in the atmosphere starts, we call that 'burning'. So if you don't burn the fuel the potential energy just stays there.
Is oil potential or kinetik energy?
Oil is potential chemical energy.
Why is algae being made into a fuel what is the problem with normal fuel?
At this moment there is no algae fuel production on significant scale, to expensive, to low energy returned on energy invested. . Algae potential because it is the fastest growing feedstock. Normal fuel sources, especially oil will be exhausted at a certain moment and then replacement is required to sustain our modern industry.

Why do you burn oil?
TO MAKE FUEL OR ENERGY
How is fuel oil made?
it is a form of energy,oil,h20 and air
What is oil thermal power plant?
The oil thermal plant refers to the chemical energy that is stored in the fossil fuel like the natural gas, oil shale, fuel oil, and coal. They are usually successively converted into thermal energy, mechanical energy, and electrical energy.
What is a fact about oil?
Oil is a non replenishable source of energy. and, Oil is a "fossil fuel".
Why is any oil valuble?
because it is used for many things like fuel energy and cooking even medicine
