Study Notes

Natural Energy Resources

  • Non-Renewable Energy: Can be used repeatedly and will not run out.
    • Examples:
      • Solar power (sun)
      • Wind energy
      • Tidal energy (waves)
      • Geothermal energy (heat energy generated and stored in the earth)
      • Biomass energy (burning waste wood or vegetable products)
      • Hydroelectric power (water)

Renewable Energy

  • Renewable Energy: Can be used only once, and will run out eventually. Also called "finite" energy.
    • Examples:
      • Oil
      • Gas
      • Coal
      • Peat
      • Fossil fuels are made from the compressed remains of dead organisms.
      • Oil and gas were formed from dead marine material.
      • Coal and peat were formed from dead plant material.
