Hematite- used to make steel Galena- used in car batteries and to solder Gold, Silver, Platinum- used in electronics and dental work Chalcopyrite- used as wiring in coins jewerly and as building ornamens Sphalerite- used in making brass and dalvanized steel Diamond- used in drill bits and saws Graphite- used in pencils, paints, lubricants, andbatteries Calcite- used in cement; as building stone Halite- used in food Kaolinite- used in ceramics, cement, and bricks Quartz- used as glass Sulfur- used in gunpowder, medicines, and rubber Gypsum- used in plaster and wallboard

Nonrenewable EnergyRenewable Energy Can’t use again Natural resources Takes millions of years to form Coal Natural gas Releases carbon dioxide Petroleum Most abundant fuel Pollutes the atmosphere Able to reuse Geothermal Solar Hydroelectric Biomass Wind Clean energy Not widely used
4
Coal- remains of plants that have gone through carbonization Petroleum- (oil) moicroorganisms & plantsburied by sediment changing over millions of years due to heat & pressure Natural Gas- moicroorganisms & plants buried by sediment changing over millions of years due to heat & pressure Peat- partial decomposition of plants Lignite- peat buried by other sediments, formed when heat & pressure increase Bituminous Coal- increased temp. & pressure to change from lignite, 80% carbon Anthracite- high temp & pressure need to change from Bituminous
5
ProsCons Abundantly used Large abundance Produce almost every product Coal is most abundant Can not be reused Takes millions of years to form Creates pollution Amount decreasing
6
FusionFission Nuclei of hydrogen combined Temps. Of more that 15,000,000C 40 years tried to harvest energy Waste less dangerous Splitting of nucleus 1 million x stronger than strongest chemical bonds Generates energy Nuclear reactor Only uranium-235 is used Water used to cool No fossil fuels
