1
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?
2
NONRENEWABLE AND RENEWABLE RESOURCES
3
HMMMM.... What do you think nonrenewable resources are? Break it down... Nonrenewable? Resource?
4
NONRENEWABLE RESOURCES A nonrenewable resource is a natural resource that cannot be re-made or re-grown at a scale comparable to its consumption.
5
NUCLEAR ENERGY Nuclear fission uses uranium to create energy. Nuclear energy is a nonrenewable resource because once the uranium is used, its gone
7
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.
8
HOW IS COAL MADE ???
9
HOW ARE OIL AND GAS MADE ???
10
WHAT WAS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COAL AND OIL/GAS?
11
RENEWABLE RESOURCES Renewable resources are natural resources that can be replenished in a short period of time. ● Solar ● Geothermal ● Wind ● Biomass ● Water
12
SOLAR Energy from the sun. Why is energy from the sun renewable?
13
GEOTHERMAL Energy from Earth’s heat. Why is energy from the heat of the Earth renewable?
14
WIND Energy from the wind. Why is energy from the wind renewable?
15
BIOMASS Energy from burning organic or living matter. Why is energy from biomass renewable?
16
WATER or HYDROELECTRIC Energy from the flow of water. Why is energy of flowing water renewable?
17
SUMMARY What are the differences between nonrenewable and renewable resources?

28
Advantages to Using Fossil Fuels Cheap Easy transportation of oil and coal
29
Disadvantages of Using Fossil Fuels Pollution Acid rain Oil spills Danger in mining Dependence
30
Advantages to Using Nuclear Power Cheap No smoke or carbon dioxide Small amounts of waste. Reliable
31
Disadvantages of Nuclear Power Very, very dangerous. It must be sealed up and buried for many years for the radioactivity to die away.
32
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.
33
Disadvantages to Hydro-electricity Expensive to build Impact on wildlife Impact on residents
34
Advantages to Geothermal Power No pollution Little environmental impact No fuel is needed.
35
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
36
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.
37
Disadvantages to Solar Power Very expensive Unreliable unless you're in a very sunny climate.
38
Advantages to Wind power Needs no fuel and produces no waste or pollution. A good method of supplying energy to remote areas.
39
Disadvantages of Wind Power Not reliable Can kill birds Noisy Suitable areas for wind farms are often near the coast, where land is expensive.
