Review: Renewable VS. Nonrenewable Resources

Renewable Energy Explained in 2 1 Minutes Watch the video intro A natural fuel such as coal, oil, or gas formed in the geological past from the remains of living organisms Fossil Fuels Biological materials such as plant material or animal waste converted to a useable energy source, a renewable resource Biomass Electricity generation using the power of falling water hydropower A gas usually found above petroleum deposits and burned to obtain energy, a non-renewable fossil fuel Natural Gas The splitting of uranium atoms to release energy Nuclear Power A thick, flammable, yellow-to-black mixture of gaseous, liquid, and solid hydrocarbons that occurs naturally beneath Earth's surface Oil The Sun's energy is collected and converted to useable energy, a renewable resource Solar Power Turbines harness the movement of air and convert it to useable energy, a renewable resource Wind Power Heat is harnessed from deep beneath Earth's surface and converted to useable energy, a renewable resource Geothermal Sort the following resources into either renewable or nonrenewable. Renewable Resources Geothermal enengy Hydropower Solar power Wind power Nonrenewable Resources Coal Oil Natural Gas Petroleum Methane Uranium Fossil fuels Which image shows a nonrenewable resource? Which of the following is a renewable resource? Petroleum, because it can be made into gasoline Coal, because more can be made in about 100 years Solar, because it cannot be completely used up. Gasoline, because we use it everyday Electricity can be made using renewable or nonrenewable resources. Which of the following resources are renewable? natural gas and coal wind and sunlight wind and oil propane and petroleum All the pictures below identify conserving resources EXCEPT— People rely on renewable resources for energy and for other necessary things in life. Which of the following lists only renewable resources? Biomass, petroleum, and solar air, animals, and water coal, water and soil biofuels, natural gas, and animals Fossil fuels were formed from organic matter buried more than a hundred thousand years ago. This matter changed over a long period of time into coal, oil, and natural gas. Which of the following lists only fossil fuel energy resources? Coal, oil, propane, natural gas solar, biofuels, wind, andgas gasoline, biofuels and coal coal, oil, natural gas and biofuels Renewable resources are those that can be replaced within a relatively short period of time, usually within a period of about 100 years. Which of the following is least likely to be renewable? gasoline biofuels corn crops wind energy Renewable Energy 101 | National Geographic There are many benefits to using renewable energy resources, but what is it exactly? From solar to wind, find out more about alternative energy, the fastest-growing source of energy in the world—and how we can use it to combat climate change. How much of the energy used by humans is generated by fossil fuels? 50% 10% 80% What are some advantages and disadvantages of renewable energy? Make a list of 3 pros and 3 cons. Advantages Disadvantages creates no direct greenhouse gas emissions generates power on a smaller scale little or no air pollution emissions can disrupt wildlife and migration patterns reliable and inexhaustible. power may be intermittent
