Non-renewable Resources

Use the text and image below to answer the questions further down.(Press Ctrl and "+" to zoom in; press Ctrl and "-" to zoom out) Based on the text above, what are some advantages of fossil fuels in our daily lives? (select all that apply.) Power plants use fossil fuels to produce electricity. They are nonrenewable, so when they are used up they don't take up anymore space. Cars use fossil fuel energy to move. Power plants can produce fossil fuels from soil and old wood. Based on the map above, what are threestates and/ or regions in which fossil fuels are found? REVIEWING THE BASICS OF FOSSIL FUELS Make sure you completed the Edpuzzle on FOSSIL FUELS before you fill out the chart below!The top row shows 3 non-renewable sources of energy. They are the titles of the 3 columns on the right.The first column shows several questions that you need to fill in accordingly. Some are done for you, for example, oil is obtained by drilling.(REMEMBER: Oil and gas were basically made from the same materials over millions of years. Also, oil is the only fossil fuel that can be used to make plastics!! ) --------------------- Coal Oil Natural Gas Process used to obtain? Mining drilling Drilling Where is it found? In mines underground In reservoirs underground underground What is it made of? decayed plant matter exposed to extreme heat and pressure Remains of marine plants and animals remains of marine plants and animals What is it used for? Fuel source for heat and electricity make fuel, heat homes, and create plastics heating, cooking, fuel, and electricity generation Which is true about coal, oil and natural gas? they have a high energy yield they release green house gasses they are relatively inexpensive all of these Which of these is a renewable resource? coal oil wind Sort the pros and cons of oil as an energy source Pros of Oil abundant high energy yield inexpensive infrastructure already in place Cons of oil air and water pollution releases greenhouse gases low prices encourage faster use It will be used up in several decades Use the image to answer the questions below What two forces chemically change the remains of sea creatures? weathering and erosion heat and pressure heat and weathering pressure and erosion What are reservoirs? Coal deposits in the ocean rocks that hold natural gas places that distribute natural gas What does permeable mean? does not allow something through it lets some things through but not others allows things through it Match the term to its definition Coal a combustible black or dark brown rock consisting mainly of carbonized plant matter, found mainly in underground deposits. Oil A liquid fossil fuel formed from marine organisms that is burned to obtain energy and used in the manufacture of plastics. Natural gas A gas with high methane content, found along with various fossil fuels and is used as a fuel. Fracking The pumping of water at high pressure to break apart rocks in order to release natural gas
