Lesson 1 - Nonrenewable and Renewable Resources

• Nonrenewable resources are natural resources that cannot be re-made or re-grown at a scale comparable to its consumption.
• Examples of Nonrenewable resources

  • Nuclear energy
  • Coal
  • Petroleum
  • Gas
  • Oil
• Nuclear energy - nuclear fission uses a uranium to create energy, it's a type of nonrenewable resources because once the uranium is used, it's gone.
• Uranium is an element to create energy
• Coal, Petroleum, and Gas - these are considered nonrenewable resources because they cannot be replenished in a short period of time. Also called fossil fuels.
• Distillation process - extracting materials to create petroleum, diesel, kerosene, espalto, and other fuels.
• Distillation process is when you extract materials to create petroleum, diesel, kerosene, espalto, and other fuels.
• Renewable resources are natural resources that can be replenished in a short period of time.
• 5 types of Renewable resources

  • Solar
  • Geothermal
  • Wind
  • Biomass
  • Hydroelectricity
• Solar - energy from the sun
• Geothermal - energy from earth's heat
• Wind - energy from the wind
• Biomass - energy from burning organic or living matter
• Hydroelectricity - energy from the flow of water
• The Philippines current energy mix highly favors, with coal, natural gas, and oil accounting for 73.56% of the country's total electrical energy needs.
• FOSSIL FUEL

  Advantages

  • really available
  • relatively easy to produce energy from them
• FOSSIL FUEL

  Disadvantages

  • willl eventually run off
  • increasing fuel cost
  • release carbon dioxide when burnt
