HMMMM....

• What do you think nonrenewable resources are?
• Break it down...
• Nonrenewable?
• Resource?

NONRENEWABLE RESOURCES

• A nonrenewable resource is a natural resource
  that cannot be re-made or replaced at a rate as
  fast as its rate of consumption.

4
COAL, PETROLEUM, AND NATURAL 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.

5
HOW IS COAL MADE ???
6
HOW ARE OIL AND GAS MADE ???
7
WHAT WAS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COAL AND OIL/GAS?

HMMMM....

• If nonrenewable resources will one day be used
  up, what will we use to meet our needs?

RENEWABLE RESOURCES

• Renewable resources are natural resources that
  can be replenished in a short period of time.
• ? Air ? Animals
• ? Water ? Crops
• ? Plants

10
RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES

• Renewable energy resources are natural resources
  used to generate energy that can be replenished
  in a short period of time. They are also known
  as alternative energy sources.
• Wind ? Biomass
• ? Geothermal ? Solar
• ? Hydroelectric

11
SOLAR

• Energy from the sun.
• Why is energy from the sun renewable?

12
GEOTHERMAL

• Energy from Earths heat.
• Why is energy from the heat of the Earth
  renewable?

13
WIND

• Energy from the wind captured by turbines and
  used to generate electricity.
• Why is energy from the wind renewable?

14
BIOMASS

• Energy from burning organic or living matter.
• Biofuels are made from biomass.
• Why is energy from biomass renewable?

15
WATER or HYDROELECTRIC

• Energy from the falling water that usually
  involves a dam.
• Why is hydroelectric energy renewable?

16
CONSERVATION

• Practicing conservation or the careful use of our
  resources (both renewable and non-renewable) will
  help us continue to have the resources we need.

SUMMARY

• What are the differences between nonrenewable and
  renewable resources?
