1
NONRENEWABLE ANDRENEWABLERESOURCES
2
NONRENEWABLE RESOURCES
  • A nonrenewable resource is a natural resource
    that cannot be re-made or re-grown at a scale
    comparable to its consumption.

3
NUCLEAR ENERGY
  • Nuclear fission splits the nucleus of a Uranium
    atom to create heat energy.
  • Used to make atomic bombs.
  • A neutron hits splits the uranium atom,
    releasing a great amount of energy as heat and
    radiation. More neutrons are also released. These
    neutrons go on to bombard other uranium atoms,
    and the process repeats.

4
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.

5
Non-Renewable Resources
  • Coal most abundant but not used as much
  • High cost to mine impurities cause pollution
    (acid rain)
  • Wyoming, W.VA, KY, Texas
  • Petroleum/Oil
  • Pumped refined to separate the gasoline for
    transportation use.
  • Other parts used for these things
  • Natural Gas
  • Energy source for heating, cooking,
    washing/drying
  • Cleanest burning fossil fuel little pollution
  • How is it made?

6
HOW IS COAL MADE ???
7
HOW ARE OIL AND GAS MADE ???
8
HMMMM....
  • If nonrenewable resources are resources that
    cannot be re-made at a scale comparable to its
    consumption, what are renewable resources?

9
RENEWABLE RESOURCES
  • Renewable resources are natural resources that
    can be replenished in a short period of time.
  • ? Solar ? Geothermal
  • ? Wind ? Biomass
  • ? Water

10
Renewable Resources
11
SOLAR
  • The sun is 93 million miles away is still the
    primary source of all energy.
  • In the high temps. Of the sun- Hydrogen atoms are
    fused which releases lots of energy
  • Solar Panels

12
GEOTHERMAL
  • Energy from the Earth shown in geysers.
  • Generated from the decay of natural, radioactive
    materials within the earth.
  • Not a popular source of energy but places like
    Yellowstone have geysers.

13
WIND
  • Wind is converted into mechanical electrical
    energy.
  • Unpredictable source of energy
  • Wind over 8 mph is used to generate electricity

14
BIOMASS
  • Energy from burning organic or living matter.
  • As bacteria decomposes organic waste (manure,
    septic tank sludge, food scrapes, pond-bottom
    muck, etc.) methane is produced.
  • Same methane as natural gas from the ground.
  • Specially designed power plants are used to
    produce electricity from burning biomass.

15
WATER or HYDROELECTRIC
  • Hoover Dam Colorado River at the Arizona-Nevada
    border
  • Energy from the flow of water collected behind
    dams.
  • The water can turn turbines which drive
    generators produce electricity.
  • The amount of power generated is determined by
    the amount of water that falls the distance it
    falls.
