Non-renewable vs Renewable Energy

Fill in the blanks. Use the word list below. Electrical energy is the energy of moving particles.The device use to produced electrical energy is called a generator.A clothes dryer transforms electrical energy in kineticand thermal energy to dry clothes.Hydroelectricity is produced by using moving water as a source of energy.Thermoelectricity is produced by using fossil fuelsas a source of energy.Nuclear energy is produce by using uranium as a source of energy.The fossil fuel mostly used to produce electrical energy is coal.nuclearenergy is mostly used in Ontario to produce electrical energy.Solar energy is a renewablesource of energy. I can tell the difference between renewable and non-renewable energy sources Sort the descriptions and types of energy sources into renewable and non-renewable Non-renewable Coal Oil Natural Gas Can not be replenished long regeneration time Nuclear Renewable Solar Geothermal Wind Hydroelectric Biomass Can be replenished short regeneration time Tides I can explain what we use each non-renewable energy source for Read them carefully and look at your notes Oil Gasoline and diesel fuel Natural Gas heating, cooking, fuel, and electricity generation Coal Fuel source for heat and electricity. I can explain the pros and cons of using a nuclear source of electricity. Pros Low environmental imact long lasting energy little air pollution less land impact due to subsurface mining Cons high cost low energy yield radioactive waste risk of catastrophic accidents I can explain the different types of renewable energy sources Solar energy produced by the sun Wind Movement of air that is converted to electricity Hydroelectric Using the properties of water, or movement of water, to generate electricity Geothermal energy Energy from steam or hot water produced from hot or molten underground rocks Thermoelectric Burning fossil fuels, to boil water into steam, that turns a turbine Nuclear Using energy from uranium atoms, to boil water into steam, that turns a turbine Most of the world’s energy supply comes from burning fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are nonrenewable resources. If people continue to burn fossil fuels at the same rate, which of the following events will most likely happen? Fossil fuel deposits will be found on the moon. All of the world’s fossil fuel reserves will be used up. No changes will be made to the world’s fossil fuel reserves Fossil fuels will quickly reform underneath the ocean’s floor. Which of the following lists contains only examples of renewable sources of energy? hydroelectric, oil, solar, and wind fossil fuels and nuclear energy wind, tides, geothermal, and hydroelectric coal, solar, wind, and biomass Nuclear energy is nonrenewable because there are a limited number of neutrons in the world uranium is a rare metal mining uranium is very expensive once we use the Earth’s supply of uranium, there will not be any more
