Windmills are used to convert wind energy into a more useful form. In most cases, there are three

steps in the process. The energy is in a different form at each step. Which of the following flowcharts
shows the most likely order of the energy changes?

edit: Sorry lovelies! Here are the flow charts!
wind energy --->  mechanical energy --->

 solar energy
wind energy --->  thermal energy --->  mechanical energy
wind energy --->  solar energy --->  electrical energy
wind energy --->  mechanical energy --->  electrical energy

The kinetic energy of the wind ==> causes ==>
the windmill to turn (mechanical energy) ==>
which is used to turn an electric generator ==>
which generates electrical energy.
