This form of energy utilizes a spinning turbine to generate electricity.

• A. Wind Power
• B. Biomass
• C. Solar Energy
• D. Geothermal Energy

Answer: (A)

Wind power directly uses the kinetic energy of moving air to spin turbine blades, and that rotation drives a generator to produce electricity. This setup showcases energy being converted from the motion of wind into mechanical energy, then into electrical energy. The blades need the wind to turn, which is why this form is a classic example of a spinning-turbine method powered by a natural, moving resource.

Biomass involves burning organic material to make heat that often turns a steam turbine, so the energy source is chemical, not wind. Solar energy typically generates electricity through photovoltaic cells with no turbine involved, and geothermal relies on underground heat to produce steam that drives a turbine.
