TWO TYPES TWO TYPES OF RESOURCES OF RESOURCES
NON RENEWABLE RESOURCES
A nonrenewable resource is a natural resource that cannot be re-made or re-grown at a scale comparable to its consumption.
NUCLEAR ENERGYNuclear fission
uses uranium to create energy.
Nuclear energy is a nonrenewable
resource because once the uranium
is used, it is gone!
Fossil FuelsFossil fuels take millions of Fossil fuels take millions of years to form. They are the years to form. They are the product of the fossilized product of the fossilized remains of dead plants and remains of dead plants and animals that have been animals that have been exposed to the heat and exposed to the heat and pressure deep within the pressure deep within the earth’s crust. There are many earth’s crust. There are many types of fossil fuels, such as types of fossil fuels, such as petroleum (gasoline), natural petroleum (gasoline), natural gas, and coal.gas, and coal.
COAL, PETROLEUM, AND GAS
Coal, petroleum, and natural gas are considered nonrenewable
because they can not be replenished in a short period of
time. These are called Fossil fuels.
HOW IS COAL MADE ???
HOW ARE OIL AND GAS MADE ???
RENEWABLE RESOURCES
Renewable resources are natural resources that can be replenished in a short period of time.
SOLARThe sun’s rays are used The sun’s rays are used for energy by organisms for energy by organisms
that undergo that undergo photosynthesis. Nearly photosynthesis. Nearly every organism on the every organism on the
planet gets energy through planet gets energy through photosynthesis, directly or photosynthesis, directly or indirectly. There are also indirectly. There are also
ways that people can ways that people can utilize the energy that the utilize the energy that the
sun provides. sun provides.
Geothermal energy is thermal energy
generated and stored in the Earth.Earth's geothermal energy originates from the original formation of the
planet, from volcanic activity, and
from solar energy absorbed at the
surface.

WIND Wind is caused by the uneven heating of the Wind is caused by the uneven heating of the atmosphere.atmosphere.
Some areas of the world, such as costal Some areas of the world, such as costal regions, have more wind than others regions, have more wind than others because the terrain of the area is relatively because the terrain of the area is relatively flat and has few obstacles to block the wind flat and has few obstacles to block the wind from blowing.from blowing.
The wind blows naturally – it is not caused The wind blows naturally – it is not caused by human activity, and it cannot be used up.by human activity, and it cannot be used up.
BIOMASSBiomass, a renewable energy source, is biological material from living, or recently living
organisms, such as wood, waste, (hydrogen) gas, and
alcohol fuels. Biomass energy is derived from five distinct energy
sources: garbage, wood, waste, landfill gases, and alcohol fuels.
HYDROELECTRIC
Hydroelectricity is the term referring to
electricity generated by hydropower ; the
production of electrical power through the use of the gravitational force of falling or flowing water.
It is the most widely used form of renewable
energy.
