Fossil fuels help create electricity for our homes using a few simple steps:
Burning: First, we burn coal, oil, or natural gas to make heat.
Heating Water: This heat warms up water and turns it into steam.
Turning Turbines: The steam moves a turbine, which produces electricity.
Transmission: Finally, the electricity travels through power lines to reach our homes.
It's like a big energy journey, changing from one form to another: from chemical energy in the fuels to mechanical energy in the turbines and then to electrical energy that powers our lives!
