Types of Resources

A resource can be used for materials or energy. A renewable resource can be replaced. For example, trees are a renewable resource.

Nonrenewable resources can never be replaced, like coal which comes from plants.

Layers of dead plants can build up and form a material called peat. In time, peat gets buried and slowly changes into soft coal, then hard coal.

Coal is a fuel and it can be burned to make heat or energy used in most power plants. The energy in coal was once sunlight energy that plants used.

Petroleum and natural gas are also fuels but they did not begin as plants, they began as small sea organisms. So, crude oil and natural gas are called fossil fuels.

Oil and Natural Gases

Drills make deep holes in Earth’s surface to find oil, which can be on land or under the ocean floor. Natural gas is often found near crude oil and can be pumped into pipelines that carry it to tanks until it is needed.

Crude oil can be used to make gasoline and other fuels that run machines like cars, trucks, tractors, trains, and ships. Also, some power plants burn fuel to make electricity.

Crude oil can be used to make other products like asphalt, plastic, grease, and wax.

Advantages and Disadvantages

Some advantages are that coal and oil are easy to store and move, large amounts of energy come from fossil fuels and it is harder to get the same amount of energy from other energy sources.

Some disadvantages are that the supply of fossil fuels is limited, burning coal and oil also causes air pollution and water pollution. Plants and animals are harmed when oil spills into water.

Careful planning can help people use fossil fuels wisely.
