This study guide covers wind energy, including how it works (wind turbines, generators, and energy storage), the science behind it (kinetic energy), and types of wind turbines (HAWT and VAWT). It also explores the advantages and disadvantages of wind energy, connecting it to broader environmental science concepts such as renewable resources, energy conversion, and environmental impacts. Finally, it provides exam tips, practice questions (multiple-choice and free-response), and key terms to focus on for the AP Environmental Science exam.
