    Renewable and Non Renewable Resources

    Uploaded by

    Christian John Musngi
    This document discusses renewable and non-renewable energy resources. It provides examples of each type of resource and describes some of their key characteristics. Renewable resources include solar, wind, hydropower, and geothermal energy, which can regenerate over time. Non-renewable resources like coal, oil, and natural gas were formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals and cannot be replenished on a human timescale. The document also includes multiple choice questions to test the reader's understanding of different energy sources.

    a source of supply, support, or
    aid, especially one that can be
    readily drawn upon when needed
     Renewableresources
     Non Renewable resources
     A renewable resource is one that can
    be used repeatedly and does not run
    out because it is naturally replaced
     A renewable resource, essentially, has
    an endless supply such as:
     solar energy
     Wind energy
     Hydroelectric energy
     Geothermal energy
     is radiant light and heat from
    the Sun that is harnessed
    using a range of ever-evolving
    technologies
     Wind power or wind energy is the
    use of wind to provide
    the mechanical
    power through wind turbines to
    turn electric generators
     Hydropower or hydroelectricity
    refers to the conversion
    of energy from
    flowing water into electricity. It is
    considered a renewable
    energy source because
    the water cycle is constantly
    renewed by the sun
     Geothermal energy is heat derived within
    the sub-surface of the earth. Water and/or
    steam carry the geothermal energy to the
    Earth's surface. Depending on its
    characteristics, geothermal energy can be
    used for heating and cooling purposes or
    be harnessed to generate clean electricity.

    Anon-renewable resource is a
    resource of economic value that
    cannot be readily replaced by
    natural means at a quick enough
    pace to keep up with
    consumption.
     Coal
     Oil
     Gas
     a combustible black or dark brown
    rock consisting mainly of carbonized
    plant matter, found mainly in
    underground deposits and widely
    used as fuel.
     is a fossil fuel, and it exists in
    liquid form in underground pools
    or reservoirs, in tiny spaces within
    sedimentary rocks
     This is where Petroleum products
    made of.
     is a fossil energy source that formed deep
    beneath the earth's surface.
     naturally occurring hydrocarbon gas
    mixture consisting primarily of methane,
    but commonly including varying amounts of
    other higher alkanes, and sometimes a
    small percentage of carbon dioxide,
    nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide, or helium.
