What are the top 3 oil producers in the world? What would be the impact on these countries when the
oil runs out? What might they need to start to do to prepare for this
happening in the future?
NONRENEWABLE AND
RENEWABLERESOURCES
HMMMM....What do you
think nonrenewable resources are?
Break it down...
Nonrenewable?
Resource?
NONRENEWABLE RESOURCES
A nonrenewable resource is a natural resource that cannot be re-made or re-grown at a scale comparable to its consumption.
NUCLEAR ENERGYNuclear fission uses
uranium to create energy.
Nuclear energy is a nonrenewable resource
because once the uranium is used, its gone
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.
HOW IS COAL MADE ???
HOW ARE OIL AND GAS MADE ???
WHAT WAS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COAL AND OIL/GAS?
RENEWABLE RESOURCES
Renewable resources are natural resources that can be replenished in a short period of time.
● Solar ● Geothermal● Wind ● Biomass● Water
SOLAR
Energy from the sun.
Why is energy from the sun renewable?
GEOTHERMAL
Energy from Earth’s heat.
Why is energy from the heat of the Earth
renewable?
WIND Energy from the wind.
Why is energy from
the wind renewable?
BIOMASSEnergy from
burning organic or
living matter.
Why is energy from biomass renewable?
WATER or HYDROELECTRIC
Energy from the flow of
water.
Why is energy of flowing
water renewable?
SUMMARY
What are the differences
between nonrenewable and renewable
resources?

Advantages to Using Fossil Fuels• Cheap• Easy transportation of oil and coal
Disadvantages of Using Fossil Fuels• Pollution• Acid rain• Oil spills• Danger in mining• Dependence
Advantages to Using Nuclear Power• Cheap• No smoke or carbon dioxide• Small amounts of waste.• Reliable
Disadvantages of Nuclear Power
• Very, very dangerous.
• It must be sealed up and buried for many years for the radioactivity to die away.
Advantages of Hydroelectricity
•Once the dam is built, the energy is virtually free. •No waste or pollution•Much more reliable than wind and solar power.
Disadvantages to Hydro-electricity
•Expensive to build•Impact on wildlife•Impact on residents
Advantages to Geothermal Power
• No pollution• Little environmental impact• No fuel is needed.
Disadvantages to Geothermal Power
• Not many places locations to build• Sometimes a geothermal site may "run out of
steam", perhaps for decades. • Hazardous gases and minerals may come up from
underground
Advantages to solar power• Needs no fuel and produces no waste or
pollution.• Can be used where there is no easy way
to get electricity to a remote place.
Disadvantages to Solar Power
•Very expensive •Unreliable unless you're in a very sunny climate.
Advantages to Wind power
• Needs no fuel and produces no waste or pollution.
• A good method of supplying energy to remote areas.
Disadvantages of Wind Power
• Not reliable• Can kill birds• Noisy• Suitable areas for wind farms are often near the coast, where land is expensive.
