Non-Renewable Resources
What are Non-Renewable resources.
Resources that are used up faster than natural processes can replace
What do renewable energy resources
From natural processes that have been happening billions of years and will continue to occur
What is the downside of solar energy
You are not able to use it during cloudy days or night
True or false. The majority of water on earth is fresh water
False
How does farming hurt the environment
True or false oil is above natural gas
False
Energy obtained from hot magma or dry hot rocks inside Earth
Geothermal Energy
What is the disadvantage of Wind Farm
Unreliable energy since wind doesn't always blow.
What is main cause of water pollution
Using natural fertilizers, biological pest control, and crop rotation.
How Is Nuclear Energy Produced
From the fission or splitting, of uranium atoms.
What is Tidal Energy
Differences between high and low tides can be used to turn turbines to create electricity
Hydroelectric Energy and Tidal Energy
Why Can't Humans drink all of the water on the planet
It is salt water or frozen.
What does development negatively do?
It prevents water from soaking into soil and refilling underground water supplies.
Explain two Non Renewable Resources.
Fossil Fuels(oil, natural gas, and cool formed from the remains of plants and animals that we buried and chemically changed millions of years ago). Coal(most abundant fossil fuel a rock that contains a rock that contains at least 50% plant remains.
Sun, Wind, Water and Geothermal Energy are all types of
Inexhaustible energy resources.
How does solar energy work.
Solar cells actively collect sun Energy and convert to electricity. South facing windows act as solar collectors warming rooms.
What percent of water covers the Earth's surface
71%
What are landfills used
Name 3 Non-metallic mineral resources.
Sandstone(glass), halite(table and road salt) and garnet(sandpaper), aggregate(concrete), gypsm(plaster and wallboard) and stone(granite, limestone or sandstone).
How is Biomass energy produced
by burning organic matter such as wood food scraps and alcohol
What is a Mineral Resource.
Deposits of useful minerals such as metal from ore.
What percentage of Earth's water is freshwater
3%
How do people manage land
Natural Preserves and recycling.
