In a thermal power plant, coal, oil, natural gas or uranium are used to heat what?
water
oil
air
the turbine
Energy production in thermal power plants as well as with hydroelectric, wind and wave or tidal power all produce electricity by
turning a turbine that runs the generator to make electricity that is taken to homes and businesses through transmission lines
the energy source directly runs the generator that then turns a turbine which produces the electricity that is taken to homes and businesses through transmission lines
the energy source is converted by a heater then the electricity is sent out to the homes and businesses through transmission lines
the energy source is used to power batteries that store energy, when you flip on a light or run electricity at your home, the battery sends the energy through transmission lines.
Of the fossil fuels, which is considered the cleanest?
oil
natural gas
coal
uranium
