RENEWABLE VS. NONRENEWABLE resources

1. RENEWABLE VS. NONRENEWABLE resources

2. I can analyze ways in which our world uses renewable and nonrenewable energy resources and explain how energy is stored and transferred, giving specific, real-world examples of each. Energy Learning Goal

3. Energy – The ability to do work or make change. • A major energy transformation in our lives is the one that changes various energy sources into electricity. • Energy sources can be either renewable or nonrenewable.

4. Renewable energy sources are those that can be replaced in a relatively short period of time. Examples of renewable resources are solar energy, wind energy, biomass and hydropower.

5. Nonrenewable energy sources cannot be replaced as they are used. Examples of nonrenewable energy sources are the metal uranium used as a nuclear energy source and fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas and oil. A fossil fuel is formed from the buried remains of plants and animals that lived many, many years ago.

6. RENEWABLE RESOURCES A resource that is naturally replaced in a relatively short time. Examples: HYDROELECTRIC, BIOMASS, WIND, SOLAR, GEOTHERMAL

7. Solar– 0.5%https://youtu.be/yFwGpiCs3sshttps://youtu.be/bhcIJRdyrQg

8. Wind– 1.9%https://youtu.be/Z5c50-_hcD0https://youtu.be/Fep4CSRoreE

9. GEOTHERMAL– 0.2%https://youtu.be/D22Z_Ynz4fYhttps://youtu.be/DFQrE91kZwk

10. HydroELECTIRC - 2.4%https://youtu.be/q8HmRLCgDAIhttps://youtu.be/kx5rsUnFYmw

11. BioMASS - 4.8%https://youtu.be/yHWcddUZ35shttps://youtu.be/HZoPNJGi6ig

12. NONRENEWABLE RESOURCES • A natural resource that cannot be replaced as it is used. • Examples: OIL, COAL, NATURAL GAS, NUCLEAR

13. Fossil Fuels (oil, Coal, Natural Gas) 81.3% combinedhttps://youtu.be/zaXBVYr9Ij0

14. Oil (petroleum) - 36.2%https://youtu.be/UPAqfTNiais

15. Natural Gas – 29%https://youtu.be/-njmj0diWu8

16. Coal – 16.1%https://youtu.be/iN6LvH_4Q3g

17. Nuclear – 8.5%https://youtu.be/FNNKhE1FNNMhttps://youtu.be/44ovdxOvP_A

18. Nuclear energy is formed by nuclear fission. It is EXTREMLY powerful! While nuclear energy does not emit any greenhouse gases, it does make radioactive waste. Nuclear material is incredibly dangerous. If accidents happen there are serious health and environmental repercussions. Nuclear – 8.5%

22. Growing Appetites, Limited Resources– Explores the impacts of energy use, the issue of dwindling resources, and the need for alternatives. • Which two issues have increased the need for alternatives to fossil fuels? • oxygen and dwindling resources • increasing demand and carbon monoxide • dwindling resources and carbon dioxide • increasing demand and water shortages

23. Energy Defined– Covers the basics of this abstract property, what energy is, how it's conserved, and what makes some forms more useful than others. • When we use electricity to power our electronics, what other two, less useful, forms of energy often result? A) light and heat B) carbon dioxide and water C) kinetic and rotational D) heat and carbon

24. Putting Energy to Use– Explains that making use of energy often involves converting it into other forms. • Which three activities consume the most fuel in modern societies? A) cooking, air conditioning, transportation B) construction, lighting, entertainment C) manufacturing, transportation, entertainment D) heating, transportation, electricity generation

25.
