Energy!!!!!! By Rebekah Koehn and Katy Andress
Oil • Nonrenewable resource • Fossil fuel • Made of dead plants and animals • Takes millions of years to form • Has many uses • Must be refined before used Oil Refinery
How Oil is Formed • Formed from remains of animals, plants • Remains covered by layers of mud • Heat, pressure turn remains into crude oil • Petroleum means oil from the earth Oil is being formed!!!!
History of OIL!!! • Known and used since ancient times • Wasn’t used as a fuel • First oil well drilled in 1859 • Became fuel when cars were made • Used in furnaces • Burned to produce • electricity Early oil workers
Where Oil is Found • Flows from natural springs • Found in PLAY • Produced offshore in gulf of Mexico • Mostly found in Texas, California, Alaska • Also found in Louisiana, Oklahoma PLAY: a group of geographical features that are likely to contain oil or gas. Natural spring
Advantages and disadvantages of oil • Advantages • One of most abundant energy resources • Liquid form easy to transport, use • Has high heating value • Relatively inexpensive • No technology needed to use • Disadvantages • Burning oil causes carbon emissions • Recovery process takes to long • Oil drilling endangers environment and ecosystem • Transportation can lead to spills Oil production
Environmental Impacts of Oil • Exploring oil damages land, ocean habitats • Oils spills harm wildlife • Leaks let petroleum get into ground • Burning oil gives off Carbon Dioxide • Causes global warming • Pollutes the air Polluted air
Uses of Oil • Used for fuel; in gasoline • Oil is in fibers, rubbers, plastics • In dyes, paints, and medicines • Used in heating oil, fertilizers, detergents • Alsoincluded in candles
Interesting Facts • Oil destroys rainforest • 6 million tons per year enter ocean • Spills account for 5% that enters ocean • Production likely to increase for 3 decades • 6.5 barrels used in U.S. per year Barrels of oil
Oil Refineries • Turn oilinto other products • Use techniques such as chemical processing • Refineries are critical to economy • Refinery jobs are dangerous Oil refinery
Hydrocarbons • Moleculesthat contain hydrogen and carbon • Contain a lot of energy • Can take on many different forms • Come in various lengths and structures
Water Energy • Moving water is very powerful • Hydroelectric power plants use water energy • Renewable resource • Dams produce electricity • Water wheels produced mechanical energy historically Water is a renewable resource
Hydroelectric Power • This is made by moving water • Most widely used source of energy • This energy is inexpensive • Dose not create air pollution • Dams have bad affects on environment • Most suitable rivers have been dammed Dams can have a negative effect on the environment.
Water History • More like the antique version • Big wooden wheel that turns slowly • Creek pours down over it • Spin slowly with lots of power • Sometimes turn saw in sawmills • Mechanical energy Water wheel
Water Turbines • Impulse or reaction turbines • In reaction turbines runners are underwater • In reaction turbines runners are enclosed • Impulse turbines are half in water • Pressure differences across blades create forces • Lift forces cause runner to rotate. Water turbines
Process of a Hydropower Plant • Water stored behind dam under pressure • Has potential energy • Flood gates open, water is released • Water in tunnels goes to bottom • Kinetic energy produced by moving water • Magnet produces electricity This is a dam.
Sources of Water Energy • Water energy is found in moving water • Found most often in a flowing river • Found in dams • Found in underwater currents • Ocean tides Water energy is found in a flowing river.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Water Energy Advantages • This energy is less expensive • Water energy is renewable • Water energy expands irrigation • Provides hydroelectric energy • Provides drinking water • Produces 19% of electricity Disadvantages • Might flood land areas • Expensive to builddams • People might have to relocate • Older dams have to be demolished • Population affects water power • Have to have a suitable river A picture of Hoover Dam and Hoover Reservoir
Water Energy and the Environment • Some land isn’t useable above dams • Fish trapped by dams when swimming • Affects and sometimes destroys natural habitats • Does not pollute air Unusableland above dam
Water Wave Energy • Fixed and floating Wave energy • Motion of waves used to drive turbine • Generates electricity • Tide energy systems trap high tides • Tide drops, water behind reservoir flows • Through a power turbine, generating electricity Hurricane Ike’s damage
Interesting Facts about Water Energy • Hurricane, tsunami cause damage because storm surge • Testing turbines in Florida gulf stream • Fishermen complain that it takes up space • Turbines off Florida might kill fish Off Florida coast
Water Cycle • Helps renew the water energy • Is a process involving water • Steps are evaporation, condensation, precipitation, accumulation A picture that shows the water cycle
Geothermal Energy • Greek words geo (earth), therme (heat) • Energy that comes from the earth • Used to generate electricity • Renewable resource • Replenished by rainfall • Continuously produced in the earth
History of Geothermal Energy 1904: First geothermal power plant built 1982: Electric generating reached high of 1,000 megawatts 1994: California Energy world’s largest geothermal company 1999: California’s power plants 54.9% of state’s electricity Geothermal energy power plant
How Geothermal Energy is Formed • Generated in the core • Generated 4,000 miles below the Earth’s surface • Energy sometimes released through volcanoes • Gets to surface through geysers and fumaroles • Also through hot springs
Where is Geothermal Energy Found • Found deep underground in reservoirs • Most activity in Ring of Fire • Ring of Fire rims Pacific Ocean • Areas where Earthquakes and Volcanoes occur • California generates most electricity • Most reservoirs in Alaska and Hawaii California generates most electricity
Advantages and Disadvantages Advantages • No pollution • Does not contribute to greenhouse effect • Not much environmental impact • No fuel needed • Energy is free Disadvantages • Not many places for power stations • Rocks need to be easily drilled • Sight may run out of steam • Dangerous minerals can be dug up • Difficult to dispose dangerous minerals No fuel needed
Environmental Impacts • Releases gases in to atmosphere • Water waste disposal cause water pollution • Sitting power plants cause land damage Sitting power plants cause land damage
Uses of Geothermal Energy • Heating buildings through district heating systems • Hot water for bathing and showering • Cooking • Generating electricity Heating buildings through district heating systems
Interesting Facts on Geothermal Energy • Power generated over 20 countries worldwide • Every 328ft below ground, temperature increases 5.4 degrees • Facilities produce 4.5 and 7.3 cents per kilowatt-hour • Renewable resource Every 328ft below ground temp. increases 5.4 degrees
Geothermal Power Plants • Uses hydrothermal resources • Require temperatures between 300 and 700 degrees Fahrenheit • Hydrothermal resources used by drilling Earth • One plant type, dry steam plant • Another is a flash steam plant • Last is a Binary plant Require temperatures between 300and 700 degrees Fahrenheit
Geothermal Heat Pumps • Most energy efficient • Environmentally clean • Becoming more popular • Use Earth’s temperatures to heat, cool buildings This energy is becoming more popular.
Global Warming Glaciers and mountains are slowly disappearing. • The increase in Earth’s average temperature • Average temperature increased 1.4 degrees over 28 years • The arctic is most effected • By 2040 arctic may have 1st ice-free summer • Coral reefs sensitive to change • Glaciers and mountains slowly disappearing
