3 cannot Energy cannot be created or destroyed. We depend on the
natural world to provide energy resources for our use. Slide 4 We
can generally divide energy resources into two categories:
renewablenonrenewable renewable & nonrenewable Slide 5 much
faster An energy resource that is used much faster than it can be
replaced by natural processes is called a nonrenewable resource.
Slide 6 formed All fossil fuels, such as, coal, oil and natural gas
formed from the buried remains of living organisms that lives
hundreds of millions of years ago. fossil fuels Once these fossil
fuels are depleted, or used up, they cannot be replaced by nature
quickly. Slide 7 Another nonrenewable resource of energy is nuclear
energy. splitting Nuclear energy comes from combining or splitting
certain particles of matter. Slide 8 most For example, most nuclear
power plants generate electricity by using called uranium as a
fuel. great The tiny particles that make up the uranium are split,
releasing a great amount of energy. Slide 9 natural process An
energy resource that can be replaced by natural process in a short
amount of time is called a Renewable Energy. Slide 10 available
Some renewable resources are called inexhaustible because they are
available in an almost limitless or perpetual supply. Two types of
inexhaustible and renewable energy are the SUN and the WIND. Slide
11 SUN most important The SUN gives off tremendous amount of energy
and is our most important renewable resource. Slide 12 Without
Without the Sun: the water cycle, wind, the living things would
cease to exist. Slide 13 Wind caused Moving air caused by uneven
heating of the Earth. It is the fastest growing energy resource for
generating electricity Hydropower change Force of moving water can
turn turbines in a hydroelectric plant to change hydropower into
electricity. Slide 14 Biomass release Wood, plants and animal waste
can be burned to release energy. Longest used energy source.
Geothermal heat Energy that comes from the heat in molten rock, or
magma, deep inside Earth. It can be used to produce steam to create
electricity. Slide 15 Starter: 26 01 DEC 14 Energy Resources 27

Application: Draw and complete the concept map using the words from
the word bank only once. Slide 17 Connection: Write in and find the
odd term that does not belong with the others. Slide 18 Exit: If we
were on a camping trip what types of energy would be available for
us to use?
