2. Types Of Resources
 RENUABLE  NONRENUABLE

3. RESOURCES
What are the
differences
between
nonrenewable and
renewable
resources?

4. NONRENEWABLE RESOURCES
A nonrenewable resource is a natural
resource that cannot be re-made or
re-grown at a scale comparable to its
consumption.

5. NONRENEWABLE RESOURCES
TYPES:
o Fossil Fuels
o Nuclear Fuels

6. FOSSIL
FUELS
o COAL
o PETROLIUM
o NATURAL GAS

7. COAL, PETROLEUM, AND GAS
Coal, petroleum, and
natural gas are
considered
nonrenewable because
they can not be
replenished in a short
period of time. These
are called fossil fuels.

8. COAL
 Coal is the most abundant fossil fuel in
the world.
 During the formation of coal,
carbonaceous matter was first
compressed into a spongy material called
"peat,“.
 When the coal is burned, the pollutant
sulfur dioxide is released into the
atmosphere.

9. HOW IS COAL MADE ???

10. OIL AND GAS
 Oil forms underground in rock such as
shale, which is rich in organic materials.
 oil also provides base material for
plastics, provides asphalt for roads and is
a source of industrial chemicals.
 Natural gas is a mixture of gases,
CH4,C2H5,C3H8,C4H10.
 Natural gas is highly flammable and is
odorless.

11. HOW ARE OIL AND GAS MADE ???

12. NUCLEAR
FUELS

13. NUCLEAR ENERGY
Nuclear fission uses
uranium to create
energy.
Nuclear energy is a
nonrenewable resource
because once the
uranium is used, it is
gone!

15.  COST AND AVAILABILITY :
For example, it is difficult to find a car or truck
that runs off of rechargeable battery power,
solar power, or electricity

16. When they're gone, they're
gone.
You can't replace natural gas,
oil, or coal.
Also, mining for these
sources at such an intense
rate can have devastating
environmental effects.
