Question 19 • SC332 Environmental Science B

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

Answer
E
Energy is converted → gas is burned → boiling water makes steam → steam turns turbines
G
Gas is burned → boiling water makes steam → steam turns turbines → energy is converted
B
Boiling water makes steam → steam turns turbines → energy is converted → gas is burned
S
Steam turns turbines → gas is burned → energy is converted → boiling water makes steam

Explanation

Natural gas is burned first, releasing heat that boils water and makes steam. The steam spins turbines, and the generator then converts the turbines’ motion into electrical energy. This matches “Gas is burned → boiling water makes steam → steam turns turbines → energy is converted.”
