ENERGY IN THE PLANET
PROPERTIES
ENERGY CAN TRANSFER AND DEGRADE
Energy is transfered when it moves from one body to another, and in doing so, it degrades or loses some of its quality.
ENERGY CAN BE STORED
There are three tipes of potential energy:
Potential chemical energy
Gravitational potential energy
Elastic potential energy
It is the same as potential energy.
ENERGY IS CONSERVED
When one type of energy transforms into another, the total amount of energy always stays the same.
ENERGY CAN TRANSFORM
All the energy can transform. Example: transform electric energy into sound energy.
Topic principal
FORMS OF ENERGY
NUCLEAR ENERGY
It is contained in the particles that make up matter, especially certain elements like uranium and plutonium.
SOUND ENERGY
It is the energy transported in sound waves.
RADIANT ENERGY
They can travel through space- that is, they do not need matter to transport them.
ELECTRIC ENERGY
It is produced by the movement of electric charges through conductive materials.
HEAT
It is energy transferred between two bodies, or two areas of the same body, that have different temperatures.
THERMAL ENERGY
It is produced by the movement of the particles that form the matter.
CHEMICAL ENERGY
It is stored in matter and then released when the matter changes its composition.
