2 What are 2 types of energy resources?  Renewable  Non-Renewable

3 What are renewable resources?  A resource that is replaced by natural means such as trees or wind  What are some things that are renewable? Trees Water Wind

4 What are Non-Renewable Resources?  A resource that we will eventually run out of  What are some examples of non- renewable resources? Oil Coal

5 Prefixes  Hydro- Water  Geo- Earth  Therm- Heat  Sol- Sun  Bio- Life

6 Hydro power  What is hydropower? Electricity generated using the power of falling water to turn turbines  Is this renewable or non-renewable? Why? Renewable – we will never run out of water

7 Geothermal Energy  Heat energy obtained from inside Earth  Renewable or non-renewable? Renewable  One of the cheapest sources of energy  Geothermal vents are found in a few areas around the world – usually areas w/ high volcanic activity

8 Wind Energy  Moving air or wind that causes energy  Renewable or non-renewable? Renewable – we will never run out of wind!  What is wind energy converted into when the turbines start to turn? Mechanical Energy

9 Solar Energy  Energy from the sun  What is something that use solar energy? Houses  Renewable or non-renewable? Renewable

10 Biomass  Matter formed by plants and animals that is used as fuel  Renewable or non-renewable? Renewable

11 Oil  Liquid fossil fuel found deep below earth’s surface that is burned to obtain energy  Renewable or Non-renewable? Non-renewable

12 Coal  A fossil fuel formed deep within Earth that is burned to release its energy Produces about 50% of the world’s electricity 20% of the energy used in the US is coal  Renewable or Non-Renewable? Non-Renewable

13 Natural Gas  A gas found above petroleum deposits and is burned to obtain energy  Renewable or non-renewable? Non-renewable

14 Nuclear Energy  The splitting of Uranium atoms to release energy  Renewable or Non-renewable? Non-renewable
