    superheated fluids from the earth’s geothermal energy to generate electricity. When magma heats up the water from underground‚ it creates superheated fluids. When these super-heated fluids reach the surface they will be turned into steam. This steam will then power a turbine‚ which will in turn power a conductor. The conductor will then produce electrical energy. ¬¬¬¬¬¬To create enough steam to power the steam turbines‚ the superheated fluid must vaporise. In order to do this‚ the pressure

    Renewable sources of energy Wind energy Wind Energy‚ energy contained in the force of the winds blowing across the earth’s surface. When harnessed‚ wind energy can be converted into mechanical energy for performing work such as pumping water‚ grinding grain‚ and milling lumber. By connecting a spinning rotor (an assembly of blades attached to a hub) to an electric generator‚ modern wind turbines convert wind energy‚ which turns the rotor‚ into electrical energy. Because wind is a clean and
