Explanation

Around 70% of the world's electricity is generated from thermal power plants, which use coal, natural gas, or oil to generate electricity.

This remains the dominant source of electricity worldwide despite the growing use of renewable energy.

Explanation

Three mutual conversions of energy forms occur at nuclear power plants:

nuclear energy is converted into thermal energy,

thermal energy is converted into mechanical energy,

and mechanical energy is converted into electric energy.
