Q

Geothermal Energy

A

Geothermal energy is the thermal energy in the Earth’s crust which originates from the formation of the planet and from radioactive decay of materials in currently uncertain but possibly roughly equal proportions.

17
Q

Butane

A

butane or n-butane is an alkane with the formula C₄H₁₀. Butane is a gas at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Butane is a highly flammable, colorless, easily liquefied gas that quickly vaporizes at room temperature. The name butane comes from the root but- and the suffix -ane.

18
Q

Tidal Energy

A

Tidal power or tidal energy is harnessed by converting energy from tides into useful forms of power, mainly electricity using various methods. Although not yet widely used, tidal energy has the potential for future electricity generation. Tides are more predictable than the wind and the sun.

19
Q

Wave Energy

A

Wave energy is a form of renewable energy that can be harnessed from the motion of the waves.

20
Q

Geothermal Energy

A
