Renewable resource and Non-renewable resource

Renewable and Non-renewable resources

By Keily Hernandez

Renewable resources: capable of being replaced

Non-renewable resources: Not able to be renewed

Example of Non-renewable : Anything made by people

Example of Renewable: Anything made by Nature

Fossil fuels: A fuel (like Coal or Oil) formed in the earth from plants or animals.

Nuclear power: Using Nuclear to create energy that we use every day.

Two types of non-renewable resources

1. Fossil Fuels

2. Nuclear Energy

Three types of fossil fuels:

1.

2.

1. Coal: Burning coal will help create power.

2. Natural gas: Used for heating like cooking.

3. Oil: Many people used Oil for cars but, it's hard to locate.

3.

Non-renewable energy

Pros:

1. Good for power

2. A more endless power store

3. Cheap

4. Truthful and excellent

Non-renewable energy

Cons:

1. Bad for Nature

2. Unlimited

3. Dangerous

4. Not clean

The Renewable Resources

2.

1.

1. Solar: Solar panels are put on roofs to collect sunlight and turn it into power.

2. Wind: The use of wind to give power through wind moter to create energy.

3. Water: It is reuseable. Whenever it rains, it goes back to the ocean. We can use the water to create power with machines.

4.

3.

4. Geothermal: Using Heat from inside the Earth to turn into power.

5. Biomass: Used by burning living plant items to create heat ( Example:Wood)

5.

Renewable resource.

Pros:

1. Clean

Cons:

1. Harmful to Nature
