Presentation Transcript

  1. Energy Sources

  2. Energy Use • United States uses more NRG than any other country in the world

  3. Types of Energy • Fossil fuels • Wind • Solar • Nuclear • Hydroelectric • Geothermal • Hydrogen • Biomass

  4. Partner ActivityNonrenewable vs. Renewable • Nonrenewable • Renewable

  5. Fossil Fuels • Fossil Fuel • Formed from Dead plants and animals • Fuel formed hundreds of millions of years ago through geological processes • Coal, Petroleum, and Natural Gas • Contain energy originally from the sun • Nonrenewable Energy Source

  6. Use of fossil fuels • Fossil fuels are burned to release chemical energy • Combustion • Process of burning a fuel • Chemical Energy is converted into various forms

  7. Sources of Electricity In US

  8. Nuclear • Energy stored within the nucleus of an atom • Released during nuclear reactions • Nuclear fission • Nuclear fusion

  9. Renewable Resources

  10. Renewable Resource • Energy source replaced as quickly as it is used • Solar Energy • Hydroelectric • Wind • Geothermal-Thermal energy from Magma • Biomass-Renewable organic matter • Wood, sugarcane, rice, manure • Tidal

  11. Solar • Energy from the sun

  12. Hydroelectric • Falling Water

  13. Wind • Wind is used to turn turbines

  14. Geothermal • Energy contained in hot magma

  15. Biomass • Chemical energy from renewable organic matter is released through the process of combustion

  16. Tidal • Ocean water is used to turn turbines • Created by the Gravity of the sun and the moon • Ocean tides

  17. Assignment • Choose an Alternative Energy Source • Create a PowerPoint presentation • Research information on topics • Outline and Rubric provided • Group will present to the class • Create a brochure or poster to “sell” your energy form
