    Nonrenewable resources such as uranium, coal, petroleum, and natural gas are natural resources that cannot be replenished at the same scale at which they are consumed and are considered finite. Renewable resources including solar, geothermal, wind, biomass, and hydroelectric energy can be naturally replenished at a sustainable rate and are generally considered inexhaustible.

    NONRENEWABLE AND RENEWABLE RESOURCES

    HMMMM....
    What do you think nonrenewable resources are? Nonrenewable? Resource?

    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.

    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. Solar Geothermal Wind Biomass Water

    SOLAR
    Energy from the sun.

    GEOTHERMAL
    Energy from Earths heat.

    WIND

    Energy from the wind.

    BIOMASS
    Energy from burning organic or living matter.

    WATER or HYDROELECTRIC
    Energy from the flow of water.

    SUMMARY
    What are the differences between nonrenewable and renewable resources?
