18.) CCC Energy and Matter Photovoltaic power from solar panels and biomass energy are obviously forms of solar energy, coming from sunlight. Explain why
both wind power and hydroelectric power can also be considered to be forms of
solar energy.

See Explanation

Explanation:

Renewable energy sources refers to those energy sources that can never be depleted. This means that they can be used severally without getting exhausted. Solar, biomass, wind and hydroelectric power are all renewable energy sources.

Hence, from the perspective described above, we can say that wind is a form of solar energy because wind is formed when the air is heated by the sun.

Hydroelectric power is driven by the water cycle. This water cycle somehow depends on the sun to run efficiently. So, hydroelectric power can also be considered to be a form of  solar energy.

the answer is minerals.

answer : one can design an experiment using a liquid and an additive that can be added to the liquid and observe the chemical changes in the reaction species.

one would need a beaker which is filled with a known amount of the liquid in which thermometer is placed to measure the temperature changes; after addition of the additive to the liquid solution one can note down the temperature change and find whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic in nature. by subtracting the initial temperature value with the final temperature one can find the temperature changes.

various combinations of liquid and additive can be used. liquid in this case can be a known quantity of water and additives can be epsom salt or without epsom salt the experiment can be conducted to notice the changes. water and ice, hydrogen peroxide and dry yeast, vinegar and baking soda,etc.
