A SOURCE OF ENERGY is where humans get energy from
Example: solar energy, wind energy, oil, etc
A renewable source is an energy source that will ALWAYS be used. It will never run out
Example: solar energy is renewable because the sun will always be in the sky!
Wind energy is renewable because there will always be wind!
A non-renewable source is a source that will NOT always be used. It will run out some day.
Example: oil is a non-renewable source because it is made from plants/animals that died millions of years ago. So when humans use all the oil, there will be no more!
A fossil fuel is: oil, natural gas, coal
Fossil fuels come from plants and animals that died MILLIONS of years ago. Humans get these fuels under the Earth.
Fossil fuels
Renewable Energy Non-renewable Energy
Wind energy Oil
Solar energy Coal
Biomass Natural gas
Geothermal energy Nuclear
Hydroelectric Fossil fuels
Sun solar panals electricity
Wind turns turbines creates electricity
Get energy from burning plants
Burn plants heat water water vapor turns turbines electricity
Take heat energy from under the Earth to make energy
Water goes through turbines. The turbines turn. Electric energy is produced
These fossil fuels are burned to heat water. The water vapor turns turbines and makes electric energy
Divide uranium particles to make heat the heat makes water boil water vapor turns turbines electricity is made
