Presentation on theme: "Warm-up What is renewable vs. non-renewable resources?"— Presentation transcript:

1 Warm-up What is renewable vs. non-renewable resources?
Give examples of each!

2 Product Brief Summary use the BOLDED, black text Pros & Cons
Main bullets Be selective! What is the most important information? If the bolded text has a question, answer it! Pros & Cons

3 Expert Groups Oil (2 & 6) Natural Gas (3 & 7) Coal (4 & 8)
Uranium (5 & 9)

4 Bell Ringer 12/1- Use regular sheet of paper today
BE in YOUR SEAT!!! What are tar sands? See pg 697! Pros/Cons?- Make a 3 column chart that uses up a whole piece of paper. Energy resource/ Pro/Con Use these as column headers

5 What info should you have for these energy resources???
What it is Location Advantages Disadvantages How it is made and/or how energy is obtained from it Affordability aka cost Environmental impacts

6 Oil Crude oil is smelly, yellow-black liquid Measured in barrels
Sweet= little sulfur Sour = a lot of sulfur Measured in barrels Used to make many products including: Ink, crayons, tires, eyeglasses Oil refinery = oil turned into useful petroleum products based on molecular weight Gas, diesel New laws & technology helps to reduce the impact of the drilling

7 Oil Pros Cons Used in many products
Used in many forms of transportation Major source of energy Cons Expensive Difficult to get Pollution Non-renewable

8 Natural Gas Methane Tasteless, colorless, odorless gas
25% of US uses natural gas Most of the natural gas used in the US is produced in the US Can be stored as a liquid (chilled; uses 600x less space) Used in the manufacturing of: Steel, glass, paper, clothing, brick, ect.

9 Natural Gas Pros Modern techniques reduced area needed for drilling Less pollution than other fossil fuels Economical Cons Leaks can impact environment Can cause deforestation (for drilling) Non-renewable Greenhouse gas

10 Coal Black/Brown sedimentary rock Most abundant in US
Requires mining (surface or underground) 2/3 from surface which is less expensive 93% of coal is used for electricity 4 different types anthracite, bituminous, subbituminous, lignite Order of heat value from greatest to least

11 Coal Pro Con Cheap Relatively abundant Many uses Modern mining is easy
Non-renewable Creates carbon dioxide Contributes to global warming Burning can effect human health Mining can be dangerous Pollution/ environmental impact Strip mining

12 Uranium/Nuclear Energy
Energy in the nucleus of an atom 2 forms of energy release Fission: atoms are split apart to form smaller atoms, releasing energy Fusion: atoms combine to form a larger atom releasing energy Energy heats water, the steam moves turbines used to generate electricity

13 Expert Groups Wind (3 & 8 ) Stations 1 & 5
Solar (4 & 9 ) Stations 2 & 6 Geothermal (5 & 10) Stations 3 & 7 Hydropower (6 & Q) Stations 4 & 8

16 Warm-Up What are tar sands? Pros and Cons What is oil shale?
Pg 101 # 7 What is hydroelectric power? Pros and Cons What is tidal power? Pros and Cons Pg107 # 5

17 Pollution Water Air Land Resources Point source pollution
Nonpoint source pollution Runoff Air Figure 19 p110 Global Warming Land Resources P112 Skills Activity

18 Protecting Resources Conservation Clean Water Act (1972)
Eliminate point source pollution from industry Safe Drinking Water Act (1974) Clean Air Act (1970) National Ambient Air Quality Standards CO, SO2, O3, Pb, Nitrogen Oxides, & particulates Caring for land resources Compost Recycling
