** Sound Energy: **
Sound energy is the  energy  produced by  sound  vibrations as they travel through a specific medium. Sound vibrations cause waves of pressure which lead to some level of compression and rarefaction in the mediums through which the  sound  waves travel.

**Light Energy:** Light is electromagnetic radiation of a wavelengh that is visible to the humen eye (in a range from about 380 or 400 nanometres to about 760 or 780 nm). 
 * Wind Energy:** Wind energy is created by wind turbines. Wind turbines are machines made up of two or three propereller like blades called the rotor. The rotor is attached to the top of the tower and as the wind blows it spins. As the rotor spins it gives energy to generator.

 **Thermal Energy:**  Thermal Energy  is generated and measured by heat of any kind. It is caused by the increased activity or velocity of molecules in a substance, which in turn causes temperature to rise accordingly. There are many natural sources of thermal energy  on Earth, making it an important component of alternative energy.

**Electrical Energy:** Electrical en ergy  is the presence and flow of an electric charge. The energy  portion of electricity is found in a variety of phenomena such as static electricity, electromagnetic fields and lighning. Humans have found the ability to harness these phenomena and store the electrical  charge for later use. The concept of electrical energy  is defined using a variety of different terminologies such as charge, current and potential.

** Radiant Energy: ** Energy that comes from electromagnetic waves is called radiant energy. Electromagnetic waves take many forms, from microwaves to x-rays to visiblelight. Radiant energy is, like most forms of energy, measured in joules and is calculated by integrating the radiant flux (power) of the electromagnetic wave with respect to time.minologies such as charge, current and potential.

** Mechanical Energy: ** Mechanical energy  is the sum of  energy  in a mechanical system. This energy  includes both kinetic energy, the  energy  of motion, and potential energy, the stored  energy  of position. A mechanical system is any group of objects that interact based on basic mechanical principles. Typically, in a mechanical system, gravity is the only major outside force that needs to be considered. In a chemical system, on the contrary, the forces between individual molecules and atoms must all be considered.

**Solar Energy:** Solar Energy means using the energy of sunlight to provide electricity, to heat water, and to heat or cool homes, businesses or industry. Sunlight is a clean, renewable source of energy which means it will never run out. you can use solar panels to get energy into your homes using solar energy.

These are types of Potential Energy:
** Nuclear Energy: ** Nuclear energy is energy in the nucleus (core) of an atom. Atoms are tiny particles that make up every object in the universe. There is enormous energy in the bonds that hold atoms together.

**Biomass Energy:** Biomass, is a renewable energy source. Biomass is organic which means that it uese things like wood, plants, poo from the zoo and things like that. Biomass is carbon based and is composed of a mixture of organic molecules containing hydrogen, usually including atoms of oxygen, often nitrogen and also small quantities of other atoms, including alkali, alkaline earth and heavy metals. These metals are often found in functional molecules such as the porphyrins which include chlorophyll which contains magnesium.  ===== **Chemical Energy:** Scientifically, energy  is defined as the ability to do work. While there are many forms of energy , they can be grouped into two categories: potenticialenergy, or stored  energy  ; and kinetic energy, or  energy  of motion. Chemical energy  is a form of potential  energy  and it is possessed by things such as food, fuels and batteries. === This is a diagram about nuclear energy! ===
