What source of energy is in each picture below?
WATER POWER
WIND POWER
GEOTHERMAL HEAT
NUCLEAR POWER
SOLAR ENERGY
Wind power, water power, nuclear power, solar energy and
geothermal heat are alternative sources of energy.
Are these alternative sources of energy limited or unlimited?
They are unlimited / infinite.
Exhausted (a): completely ended
Infinite (a) = unlimited (a)
Energy (n) = power
Alternative (a)
e.g: Wind power, water power, … are alternative sources
of energy.
Wind power (n)
Water power (n)
Nuclear power (n)
Solar energy (n)
Geothermal heat (n)
Activity 2: Listen and repeat.
