Is Temperature the Key to Creating Electricity from Natural Resources?

[Mollz]

These are all...true or false? if false- fix.



1)The temp of a material is the total; energy kinetic and potential of its particles.

2)scenarists are working on ways to change the thermal energy of molten rock called magma into electricity .

3)scientists are working on ways to use the change in specific heat of ocean water to make electricity.

1) FALSE -- I am pretty sure temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles not potential.

2) not sure if that possible or not

3) FALSE -- I don't see how you can change the specific heat capacity of water.

thank you so much i really appreciate this
