conventional and non conventional sources of energy
- 2. Energy broadly means the capacity of something, a person, an animal or a physical system to do work and produce change. Used in science to describe how much potential a physical system has to change. Sources of Energy. Conventional sources of energy Non conventional sources of energy
- 3. • Energy that has been used from ancient times is known as conventional energy. Coal, natural gas, oil, and firewood are examples of conventional energy sources.
- 4. Traditional energy sources consist primarily of coal, natural gas and oil. They form from decaying plant and animal material over hundreds of thousands to millions of years. Most of these sources are burned to produce energy through power plants and automobiles.

- 23. Geothermal energy :- It means the energy harnessed from the hot rocks present inside the earth . High temperature, high pressure steam fields exit below the earth’s surface in many places. At the core, temperatures may reach over 9,000 degrees Fahrenheit. This heat comes from the fission of radioactive material naturally present in the rocks. The deeper regions of the earth’s crust is very hot. This heat melts rocks and forms magma. The magma moves up and collects below at some places called Hot spots. The underground water in contact with hot spot gets heated into steam at high pressure. By drilling holes into hot spots the steam coming out can be used to rotate turbines of generators to produce electricity.
