Solar energy Solar energy come from the uv waves

of the sun and is changed into energy by using solar panels.

We use solar panels so we can capture sunlight and use it to make energy.

We use it for heat and electricity.

Things we us solar energy for

We use it to heat up water, pools, any water supply.

We use it for heating and ac units. You can have a car that uses the

energy from the sun instead of gas.

Benefits of solar energy It doesn't cost a cent for solar energy. Its unlimited. You can get as much as you want and

charge something up all day and it could last all night.

The bad things about solar To buy the solar panels will cost a lot.

1000$ Your home or whatever is using these

solar panels will only be charged during the day. So you only get to charge 12 hours a day.

If the weather changes your solar panels could be ruined.

What is Geothermal energy?

It is energy that comes from the earth and is transformed into heated water and electricity.

This term comes from the Greek geo, meaning earth, and therine, meaning heat, which means geothermal energy is energy developed from the natural heat.

Where this energy is found. You can find it in volcanoes, fumaroles

(these are holes were volcanic gases are released).

Hot springs, which are where a lot of the hot liquid can be found.

And geysers. Which shot the hot steam out of the ground.
