How energy is harnessed from different sources?

Energy is harnessed from various sources through distinct methods. Solar energy is captured using photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight into electricity, while wind energy is generated by turbines that convert kinetic energy from wind into electrical power. Hydropower utilizes the movement of water, typically through dams, to turn turbines, and geothermal energy harnesses heat from the Earth’s interior. Additionally, fossil fuels are burned to produce steam that drives turbines, generating electricity.
