Chemical energy: When animals eat plant, they get the chemical energy in the plants stored as sugar.Mechanical energy: Carbon dioxide rising through the air gains mechanical energy (as well as gravitational potential energy).Thermal energy: The heating of fossil fuels releases the energy stored inside.Electrical energy: Burning fossil fuels creates electrical energy for us to use.
Heat convection is a mode of heat transfer by the mass motion of a fluid such as air. Heat convection occurs to the surface of an object where the surrounding fluid of object is heated and moved energy away from the source of heat.
