3 Renewable Resources Natural resources that cannot be used up or can be replaced naturally or grown again. Examples: Wind Sun Soil Grassland Plants Animals Forests Water

4 Energy From Rerenewable Resources

5 Hydroelectric power – energy generated by falling water

6 Solar Energy – energy produced by the sun

7 Wind Energy – energy generated by the wind

8 Geothermal Energy – energy produced from the earth’s internal heat Steaming ground in the Philippines

10 Nonrenewable Resources Natural resources such as metals and minerals that cannot be replaced easily Examples: Fossil fuels  Coal  Oil  Natural Gas Uranium, copper, nickel, bauxite, diamonds, gold, silver, tungsten, aluminum, etc.

11 Energy From Nonrenewable Resources
