This document discusses the differences between nonrenewable and renewable resources. It defines nonrenewable resources as natural resources like coal, oil, and natural gas that cannot be remade in a short time period, as they were formed from ancient organisms over millions of years. Renewable resources are defined as natural resources like solar, wind, and hydropower that can be continually replenished and used again in a short time period through natural processes. Examples are provided of how solar, wind, and hydropower can be harnessed and used as renewable sources of energy.

1. NONRENEWABLE
AND
RENEWABLE
RESOURCES

2. HMMMM....
What do you think
nonrenewable
resources are?
Break it down...
Nonrenewable?
Resource?

3. NONRENEWABLE RESOURCES
A nonrenewable resource is a natural
resource that cannot be re-made or
re-grown in a short time.

4. COAL, OIL, AND NATURAL GAS
Coal, oil, and natural
gas are considered
nonrenewable because
they can not be
re-made in a short
period of time. These
are called fossil fuels.

5. HOW IS COAL MADE ???

6. HOW ARE OIL AND GAS MADE ???

7. WHAT WAS THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN COAL AND OIL/GAS?

8. HMMMM....
If nonrenewable
resources are resources
that cannot be
re-made, what are
renewable resources?

9. RENEWABLE RESOURCES
Renewable resources are
natural resources that can be
used again and again in a
short time.
● Solar energy
● Wind
● Moving Water

10. SOLAR ENERGY
Energy from the sun.
Why is energy from
the sun renewable?
Some cars can move by the
solar energy.
Sun is the main source of energy on earth

11. WIND Energy from
the wind.
Why is energy
from the wind
renewable?
The energy of the
wind is used to
produce
electricity using
wind turbines

12. WATER
Energy from the
flow of water.
Why is energy of
flowing water
renewable?
The energy of the
moving water
"water falls" is
used to turn the
turbines & produce
electricity.

13. SUMMARY
What are the
differences
between
nonrenewable and
renewable
resources?
