Energy & the Environment
Renewable & Non-renewable Energy
Non-
renewable
Oil & Gas
Oil and gas are fossil fuels which
were formed in the Carboniferous
period millions of years ago when
tiny sea creatures called diatoms
died and sank to the bottom of the
oceans. As more and more layers
of sediment covered the sea
creatures, they were crushed by
the massive pressures and the
carbon in their bodies eventually
turned to oil and gas. We burn this
oil and gas in power stations today.
Nuclear
Nuclear fuel is made from radioac-
tive Uranium Ore which occurs
naturally in the ground, particularly
in Australia, Canada and America.
It is also known as yellowcake for
its distinctive bright yellow colour.
The yellow Uranium Ore is purified
to provide the shiny Uranium metal
used in nuclear power plants.
Coal
Coal is a fossil
fuel which was formed in the
Carboniferous period millions of
years ago, (before the dinosaurs!),
when the earth was covered with
oceans, swamps, trees and plants!
When the trees and plants died
they formed a layer of peat, which
over time became buried by more
and more layers of clay, sand and
rock. Over millions of years, the
pressure of these extra layers
turned the peat into the coal we
put on our fires and fuel our power
stations with today.
Renewable
Wave
Waves are created by the wind blowing
across the sea and by the gravitational force
of the moon. Wave power uses the energy of the waves to
turn turbines that make electricity.
Geothermal
Geothermal power uses the heat that comes
from deep rocks under the surface of the Earth. The
temperature of the Earth increases towards its centre.
The hot water or steam that comes from deep within our
planet can be used to make electricity.
Hydro-electric
Hydro-electricity is generated from running
water. Dams are built across a lake or river
in a valley to trap water. The water flows through tunnels
and turns the turbines which make electricity.
Solar
The Sun releases an amazing amount of
energy due to the nuclear fusion of
hydrogen taking place within its core. Solar panels, called
photovoltaic cells are used to convert the Sun‛s energy
into electricity. The Sun can also be used to heat water
passing through special solar collectors.
Wind
Wind is made when the Sun heats the Earth
and the area above land gets hotter than the
area above water. The hot air above land rises
upwards leaving an area of low pressure. Cooler air moves
into this area of low pressure making wind which we use to
turn wind turbines and make electricity. Wind used to be
used to turn windmills to grind wheat into flour.
Biomass
Biomass uses the energy from plants and waste
materials to make electricity. For example,
wood or animal droppings can be burnt to make
steam that turns turbines to make electricity.
Tidal
Tidal energy comes from the movement of water
in the sea by the tides. These tides happen twice
a day. The flow of water that is created by the
tides is used to turn generators that make electricity.
