2. Renewable Energy Resources Energy Resources that are Replaceable

3. Renewable Energy Resources  Wind  Water  Heat from the Earth

4. We can use the wind to produce energy. One way to do this is by using wind turbines.

5. A Wind Turbine Farm

6. Birds must fly carefully when they are near wind turbine farms.

7. A Diagram of a Wind Turbine

8. Water as an Energy Resource Moving water can be used to produce electricity.

9. Dams use water to produce electricity for thousands of people. What do we call this type of energy?

10. That’s right! When water is used to produce electricity, it is called HYDROELECTRIC ENERGY.

11. Heat from within the Earth can also be used to produce energy.

12. It is called GEOTHERMAL ENERGY.

13. Nonrenewable Energy Resources  Oil  Coal  Natural Gas

14. Oil rigs pump oil from deep in the ocean.

15. Some oil rigs are moved around by huge ships.

16. Some oil rigs are on land. They pump oil from deep within the Earth.

17. Coal can be mined from deep in the Earth. Coal is burned to provide heat for homes. This is a picture of an entrance to a coal mine. Miners will descend deep into the Earth to find coal to be used as an energy resource.

19. Transporting Coal Out of the Mine

20. Natural gas is another energy resource. Some people use natural gas to heat their homes or cook on their stoves.

21. All of our energy resources are important to us. We must do our part to protect our energy resources!
