6. COAL, PETROLEUM, AND GAS
Coal, petroleum, and
natural gas are
considered
nonrenewable because
they can not be
replenished in a short
period of time. These
are called fossil fuels.
9. WHAT is THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
COAL AND OIL/GAS?
10. WHAT is THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
COAL AND OIL/GAS?
• Basically, coal is
purely vegetation
in stratam. It is
always “longer-
chain”
hydrocarbons.
• Oil may be formed
from animal as well
as plant
decomposition, and
has relatively shorter
hydrocarbon chains,
making it a liquid
instead of a solid

12. NUCLEAR ENERGY
Nuclear fission uses
uranium to create
energy.
Nuclear energy is a
nonrenewable resource
because once the
uranium is used, it is
gone!
13. Nuclear Energy
Uses
• Nuclear energy is used for Electricity generation.
• Nuclear energy can be used in ships.
• Can be used for industrial heating
• Can be used in aircrafts.
Drawbacks
• Nuclear plant uses radioactive materials and produce radio active waste
which is harmful to human health.
• Life of Nuclear plant is only 30-40 years.

31. Problems Associated with Natural
Resources
• Unequal consumption of natural resources.
• Producing animal food for human
consumption requires more land than that
required for growing crops.
• Natural resources often provide fertile
ground for corruption.
• Our use of natural resources affects the
environment in many ways.
• Lack of water is a problem in cities, towns
and villages.
