NUCLEAR ENERGY

Nuclear fission uses uranium to create energy.

Nuclear energy is a nonrenewable

resource because once the uranium

is used, it is gone!

FOSSIL FUELS

Decomposing remains of plant

and animals deep in Earth that are

turned into energy through heat and

pressure. Examples: Coal, petroleum, and natural gas

FOSSIL FUELS

Fossil fuels are considered

nonrenewable because they can

not be replenished in a short period

of time.

HOW IS COAL MADE ???

HOW ARE OIL AND GAS MADE ???

WHAT WAS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COAL AND OIL/GAS?

HMMMM....

If nonrenewable resources are resources that

cannot be re-made at a scale comparable to its consumption, what are renewable

resources?

RENEWABLE RESOURCES

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