how the electricity genreted in the power plants based on naturel gas
Answers
Answer:
It starts by piping natural gas underground to power plants. Then power plants burn the natural gas to boil water that becomes steam. The steam spins the blades of a turbine that is connected to a generator. The generator then spins magnets that generates the electricity.

Explanation:
Natural gas power plants generate electricity by burning natural gas as their fuel. There are many types of natural gas power plants which all generate electricity, but serve different purposes. All natural gas plants use a gas turbine; natural gas is added, along with a stream of air, which combusts and expands through this turbine causing a generator to spin a magnet, making electricity. There is waste heat that comes from this process, because of the second law of thermodynamics. Some natural gas plants use this waste heat as well, which is explained below.
Natural gas power plants are cheap and quick to build. They also have very high thermodynamic efficiencies compared to other power plants. Burning of natural gas produces fewer pollutants like NOx, SOx and particulate matter than coal and oil.[2] On the other hand, natural gas plants have significantly higher emissions than a nuclear power plant. This means that air quality tends to improve (ie. reduces smog) when switching to natural gas plants from coal plants—but nuclear power does even more to improve air quality.
Despite the improved air quality, natural gas plants significantly contribute to climate change, and that contribution is growing (see pollutant vs greenhouse gas).[3] Natural gas power plants produce considerable carbon dioxide, although less than coal plants do. On the other hand, the process of getting natural gas from where it's mined to the power plants leads to considerable release of methane (natural gas that leaks into the atmosphere). As long as natural gas plants are used to produce electricity their emissions will continue to warm the planet in dangerous ways.

★Natural gas: turbines are driven directly by gases produced by combustion. Combined cycle are driven by both steam and natural gas. They generate power by burning natural gas in a gas turbine and use residual heat to generate steam. At least 20% of the world's electricity is generated by natural gas....…
