1
The types of energy in our world
Energize! The types of energy in our world
2
Renewable Resource: A resource we get from the earth, that we can run out of, but we can always get more of. Vegetables Fruits Trees Plants Animals
3
Nonrenewable Resource:
A resource we get from the earth, that we can run out of someday. Once these resources are gone, we can NEVER get them back again in our lifetime. Precious gems and minerals Extinct animals/plants Fossil fuels Petroleum oil Natural gas Coal Propane
4
Fossil Fuels takes millions of years to form (make)
animals and plants die and are buried under layers of sedimentary rock Types of fossil fuels: coal natural gas oil Gasoline is NOT a fossil fuel but fossil fuels are used to make gasoline/petroleum
6
Examples nonrenewable resources
8
More examples of other types of thermal (heat) energy that do not use fossil fuels
9
Inexhaustible Resource:
A resource we get from the earth, that we will never run out of. Sun Water Wind Dirt
10
Solar Energy comes from the sun natural resource
does NOT cause pollution cheap…sun’s rays are free solar panels can be expensive inexhaustible resource (never used up)
11
Examples of Solar energy
12
Wind energy comes from the wind natural resource
does not cause pollution cheap, wind is free unreliable because sometimes the wind does not blow wind farms becoming more popular inexhaustible resource (never used up)
13
Examples of wind energy
14
Hydro Energy comes from moving water natural resource
does not cause pollution cheap, water is free unreliable because sometimes water is not available inexhaustible resource (never used up)
15
Examples of hydro energy
long ago
16
Static Energy comes from friction manmade and natural
does not cause pollution cheap, rubbing 2 surfaces together not powerful enough for human to always use inexhaustible resource (never used up)
17
Examples of Static Energy
sometimes called “static electricity”
18
Chemical Energy comes from batteries or combustion
manmade from natural resources expensive to create causes pollution sometimes If using fossil fuels to make researching new ways to make (wind, water) both inexhaustible and nonrenewable depending on how its made
19
Examples of Chemical Energy
20
Batteries
21
Chemical Energy comes from food that an animal eats
from natural resources
22
Chemical Energy
23
Geothermal Energy Comes from inside the Earth
Heat, steam, and magma found INSIDE the Earth Natural resource Does not cause pollution Free from Earth, materials to get it out are expensive Inexhaustible, but not found everywhere
25
Geysers (steam)
27
Biofuels Comes from plants and algae Can come from animals feces
Natural resource Does not cause pollution Cheap, but mainly used by farmers Renewable, but can only be used in certain types of engines
30
(heat energy) Thermal Energy comes from the earth – fossil fuels
natural resource decaying/decomposing plants and animals that died MILLIONS of years ago causes pollution expensive to get out of the earth we will run out someday nonrenewable resource (cannot be made)
31
Examples of Thermal heat using nonrenewable resources
32
All make electric energy
Hydro Thermal Solar ===Wind
