What types of energy sources are not derived from the sun?
Practically all energy on earth comes originally from the sun. A power source not derived from the sun is geothermal, which uses heat from deep under the ground.* Nuclear energy.* Geothermal energy.* Fuel cell energy.* kinetic energy* potential energy* thermal energy* gravitational energy* sound energy* light energy* electromagnetic energy* elastic energy
How many types of alternative energy are there and what are they?
there are at least 7 different types. Wind, hydro electrical,geothermal, biomass, nuclear power, solar, and by pedaling a bike or other exercise on a machine you can use magnets to create electricity. By: Dragon Guerrero
What are the uses of energy from alternative sources in the Caribbean geo-thermaltidalsolar and nuclear energy?
In the Caribbean region, alternative energy sources like geothermal, tidal, solar, and nuclear energy are used to reduce dependency on imported fossil fuels, decrease carbon emissions, enhance energy security, and diversify the energy mix. Geothermal energy taps into the region's volcanic activity for power generation, tidal energy utilizes the region's coastal waters for renewable electricity, solar energy takes advantage of abundant sunlight for electricity generation, and nuclear energy provides a low-carbon baseload power option.
Where is thermal energy produced?
Thermal energy is produced in various ways, such as through combustion of fuels like coal, natural gas, or oil in power plants, through nuclear reactions in nuclear power plants, or through renewable sources like geothermal energy from the Earth's heat or solar energy from the sun.
What are the types of the conventional and non conventional sources of energy?
Conventional energy sources are coal, oil, natural gas, and hydraulic energy sources.Non conventional energy sources are nuclear, solar, wind, geothermal, wave, tide, and biomass energy sources.
Who is the leader of geothermal energy?
wind, solar, nuclear power, hydroelectric
What type of energy can you use instead of wind energy?
There are solar power, hydro power, geothermal power, nuclear power, gasohol, and biomass
Why is geothermal energy safer than nuclear?
Geothermal energy is considered safer than nuclear energy because it does not produce radioactive waste or carry the risk of a catastrophic accident such as a nuclear meltdown. Geothermal power plants also have a smaller footprint and lower environmental impact compared to nuclear plants.
Where does geothermal energy come from nuclear or power plants?
Geothermal energy comes from the Earth's internal heat, not from nuclear power plants. It involves tapping into the heat stored beneath the Earth's surface to generate electricity or for heating applications.
What are some alternatives of using fossil fuels for energy?
Some alternatives to fossil fuels for energy include renewable sources such as solar, wind, hydroelectric, and geothermal power. Other options include nuclear power and bioenergy from sources like biomass and biofuels. Transitioning to these cleaner energy sources can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change.

What is the relationship between geothermal power and geothermal energy?
Geothermal power is the electricity generated from harnessing geothermal energy, which is the heat stored beneath the Earth's surface. Geothermal energy is a renewable and sustainable resource that can be used to produce electricity through technologies like geothermal power plants.
Why geothermal energy and nuclear energy different in respect?
Geothermal energy comes from the Earth's core. As we can't examine this directly, scientists are uncertain just what produces this energy. Some will come from radioactive decay, and some is the residue from when the Earth was formed as a lump of hot matter, from some unknown supernova. As far as we know there is no nuclear fission process going on in the core, though I don't see why this should be discounted. Nuclear energy as produced by man is definitely a process of nuclear fission, so this is the difference.
What are some energy sources that offer alternatives to fossil fuels?
water power, geothermal energy, solar energy
Can you give me some examples of energy resources?
Coal, Petroleum, Sun, Wind, Nuclear power, Geothermal power, Natural Gas, and Biomass are all energy resources.
Energy from hot magma is called?
Geothermal energy. It is harnessed by capturing heat from the Earth's interior and converting it into electricity or for direct heating purposes. Geothermal energy is considered a renewable and sustainable source of power.
