DO NOW • 1. Which alternative energy source uses the energy from the Earth’s interior (core) for power? • 2. Which alternative energy source uses the sun’s light for power? • 3. Which type of fossil fuel is made of compressed plant remains, and is solid in form?
GOAL • To be able to distinguish between renewable and nonrenewable resources.

Pair Activity • Nonrenewable resources include • Oil • Coal • Natural Gas • See if you can come up with atleast 3 more resources that the Earth provides us with (either renewable or nonrenewable)
Nonrenewable Resources When they are used up, they cannot be replaced by nature Nonrenewable Resources
Nonrenewable Resource Examples 1. Fossil Fuels Coal Oil Natural Gas Nonrenewable Resources
Nonrenewable Resource Examples 2. Minerals- mined, dug out of rocks and soil (Metals, gemstones) Nonrenewable Resources
Renewable Resources Resources that are continuously replaced by nature Renewable Resources
Renewable Resource Examples 1. Land USES: Soil Area for cities, farms, forests Produces food Renewable Resources
Renewable Resource Examples 1. Land- Problems A. Dry Renewable Resources
Renewable Resource Examples 1. Land- Problems B. Overgrowing crops Renewable Resources
Renewable Resource Examples 1. Land- Problems C. Erosion Renewable Resources
Renewable Resource Examples 1. Land- Problems D. Desertification Renewable Resources
Renewable Resource Examples 2. Water USES: for drinking, cooking, bathing, cleaning Renewable Resources
Renewable Resource Examples 2. Water USES: Water cycle purifies Renewable Resources
Renewable Resource Examples 2. Water PROBLEMS: Limited amount of freshwater 97% in oceans Renewable Resources
Renewable Resource Examples 3. Animal Resources USES: Provides food and other products Renewable Resources
Renewable Resource Examples 3. Animal Resources PROBLEM: using too much Renewable Resources
