Geothermal energy is from heat and it is clean and sustainable.
Geothermal energy works by tapping into steam or hot water reservoirs underground; the heat is used to drive an electrical generator.
Visible sources of geothermal energy is volcanoes, hot springs, geysers.
In Iceland, 25% of total energy production if from geothermal sources
Geothermal energy is generated in over 20 countries. The United States is the world's largest producer, and the largest geothermal development in the world is The Geysers north of San Francisco in California. In Iceland, many of the buildings and even swimming pools are heated with geothermal hot water

Tidal Power

How it works:
As the tide comes in the underwater turbines begin to turn and this results in a generator turning producing electricity.

Pros:
Renewable
Emission free
Can last 100 years
High efficiency
Predicable energy output-can rely on the tides
Environmental impacts local not global

Cons:
Specific location
Expensive- A proposed 8000 megawatt ridal power plant and barrage system on the Severn Estuary in the UK has been estimated to cost $15 billion.
May resist access to open water
Impact on fish, marine mammals and birds
May decrease salinity in tidal basins

The carbon cycle has a major role in the making of coal. The trees and plants that were alive millions of years ago used to photosynthesis which released oxygen and took in the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere caused by respiration and decomposition. Then when the plants and trees died they they began to break down by being decomposed by decomposers (such as bacteria and insects) and the carbon would be released back into the atmosphere, if the decomposition didn't occur then the plants and trees would be fossilised  ,storing the carbon, which then later turned them into coal. The energy flow is a key part of this cycle from the time when the vegetation take in the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere , then they die and become fossilised  which then turns into coal, if decomposition doesn't occur then the carbon that the trees once took in will remain in the coal. The source of carbon is the main reason why coal is a well used fossil fuel that provides a lot of energy.

works by allowing photons (particles of light) to knock electrons free from atoms, generating a flow of electricity as they have more energy. Solar power is sustainable as no greenhouse gases are released during the process of harnessing renewable energy from the sun. They have a initial high cost but pay for themselves in the long term. However the actual solar panel is made from not sustainable materials such as selenium, that is finite.

Germany has the most solar panels with 32,411 installed. The countries goal is to rely on solar and other renewable sources of energy for 100% of its electric power by 2050
Peru brings solar energy to its poorest citizens - 500,000 poor households have been provided with solar panels as they do not have access to the national grid.

In the news
200 panels installed onto Gloucester Cathedral due to a £6m renovation project. Oldest church building to have technology installed.

School in flixton saves £2 million after having 1700 solar panels installed on roof

Both fission and fusion are nuclear reactions that produce energy, but the applications are not the same. Fission is the splitting of a heavy, unstable nucleus into two lighter nuclei, and fusion is the process where two light nuclei combine together releasing vast amounts of energy.

How coal is formed and explored:
Coal  is a non renewable energy source and is formed by plants that were around millions of years ago, even before the Jurassic period, in swamp forests. So when these plants and trees died , they began to form layers in the bottom of swamps,pressure occurs as the water and dirt from the swamp started contracting the plants and trees together fragmenting and flattening their structures, then as more layers were added , land and soil started building up over the top too. This caused more pressure and heat causing the remains of the plants to undergo chemical and physical changes making the plants push out the oxygen. Then over millions of years it turns into coal which is made up of carbon which is why it is used as a fossil fuel for combustion. Coal is made up of 75% carbon this is from the photosynthesis process the plants done when they were living. The other elements such as oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen were also part of the photosynthesis process that have been fossilised .

Biomass is organic molecules which when burned releases energy due to molecules of nitrogen, carbon and oxygen being present, as well as many other compounds and minerals. An advantage to it is it is carbon neutral, but a disadvantage is a lot of biomass would be needed to power cities or power cities on a larger scale. There are five forms of biomass: virgin wood (forestry), energy crops, agricultural residues, food waste, and industrial waste. The matter is collected and burned as normal and releases energy similarly to the combustion of fossil fuels. The difference is they are infinite resources unlike fossil fuels as crops can be endlessly grown. Due to them being made up of many chemicals the energy released in comparison to alternative forms of energy sources is minuscule. Also it is an available source of energy for LEDC's but you could not be dependent on it, solely, as a source of energy. An example of the use of biomass is Brazil using sugarcane to turn into ethanol for power, which cars are able to run off of. Also, it may threaten the food sources as if more land is used to grow crops for biofuel but less room to grow food leading to potential food shortages. It can also be sourced locally meaning you don't have to import fuels from around the world.
