Question 4 • DRHS GA-GSE Environmental Science

Which shows the correct order of steps when using wind to generate electricity?

Answer
A
wind turbine blades turn generator → generator changes kinetic energy to electricity → kinetic energy from wind turns blades on wind turbine
B
kinetic energy from wind turns blades on wind turbine → wind turbine blades turn generator → generator changes kinetic energy to electricity
C
kinetic energy from wind turns blades on wind turbine → generator changes kinetic energy to electricity → wind turbine blades turn generator
D
wind turbine blades turn generator → kinetic energy from wind turns blades on wind turbine → generator changes kinetic energy to electricity

Explanation

Wind first provides kinetic energy that turns the turbine blades. The turning blades then drive the generator, which converts kinetic energy into electrical energy. This sequence matches choice B; the other choices put one or more steps out of order.
