Nonrenewable AND Renewable Resources

This document discusses renewable and nonrenewable resources. It defines nonrenewable resources as natural resources that cannot be remade or regrown at the same rate they are consumed, such as nuclear energy which uses uranium, and fossil fuels like coal, petroleum and natural gas. Renewable resources are then defined as those that can be replenished within a short period of time, providing examples of solar, geothermal, wind, biomass, and water energy.

NONRENEWABLE AND RENEWABLE RESOURCES

NONRENEWABLE RESOURCES

A nonrenewable resource is a natural resource that cannot

be re-made or re-grown at a scale comparable to its


consumption.

NUCLEAR ENERGY
Nuclear fission uses uranium to create energy.

Nuclear energy is a nonrenewable resource because once the

uranium is used, it is gone!

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.

HOW IS COAL MADE

HOW ARE OIL AND GAS MADE

RENEWABLE RESOURCES
Renewable resources are natural resources that can be replenished in a short period of time.

Solar Geothermal Wind Biomass Water
