A wind turbine is made up of four major parts: the blades, nacelle, generator, and tower.

Describe what you think is the main purpose of each wind turbine part.

Wind turbines can be either onshore (on land) or offshore (on water, usually along a coast).

Would your community be a good place for wind turbine installation? Why or why not?

If so, would you recommend onshore or offshore wind turbines? Why or why not?

Onshore wind turbines need to be sited in large open land areas. Explain one benefit and one impact of this siting requirement.
