1. NONRENEWABLE AND RENEWABLE RESOURCES
Part 1

2. What do you think nonrenewable resources are?
HMMMM....
What do you think nonrenewable resources are?
Break it down...
Nonrenewable?
Resource?

3. NONRENEWABLE RESOURCES
A nonrenewable resource is a natural resource that cannot be re-made or re-grown at a scale comparable to its consumption.

4. Nuclear fission uses uranium to create energy.
NUCLEAR ENERGY
Nuclear fission uses uranium to create energy.
Nuclear energy is a nonrenewable resource because once the uranium is used, it is gone!

5. 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.

6. HOW IS COAL MADE ???

7. HOW ARE OIL AND GAS MADE ???

8. WHAT WAS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COAL AND OIL/GAS?

9. HMMMM....
If nonrenewable resources are resources that cannot be re-made at a scale comparable to its consumption, what are renewable resources?

10. RENEWABLE RESOURCES
Renewable resources are natural resources that can be replenished in a short period of time.
● Solar ● Geothermal
● Wind ● Biomass
● Water

11. Why is energy from the sun renewable?
SOLAR
Energy from the sun.
Why is energy from the sun renewable?

12. GEOTHERMAL Energy from Earth’s heat.
Why is energy from the heat of the Earth renewable?

13. Why is energy from the wind renewable?

14. BIOMASS Energy from burning organic or living matter.
Why is energy from biomass renewable?

15. WATER or HYDROELECTRIC
Energy from the flow of water.
Why is energy of flowing water renewable?

16. What are the differences between nonrenewable and renewable resources?
SUMMARY
What are the differences between nonrenewable and renewable resources?

17. One Final Note…
Sooo, after we pull the natural resources, what do we do with them? We make them into Goods and Services
You hear a lot about goods and services but what are they?
Goods: are tangible (real) things you manufacture (make)
Eg. Making mittens, cars, tables etc…
Services: Are things you do (service) for others
Eg. Clean the house, do heart surgery, selling a car or book
