Nonrenewable Nonrenewable EnergyEnergy
• A Nonrenewable resource is a resource that forms at a rate that is much slower than the rate at which it is consumed.

Nonrenewable Energy Nonrenewable Energy
• Fossil fuels are a nonrenewable energy resource that formed from the remains of organisms that lived long ago; examples include oil, coal, and natural gas.

Fossil FuelsFossil Fuels
• Much of the energy humans use every day comes from the burning of the hydrocarbons that make up fossil fuels.
• Coal is used for electricity (50% of U.S.), heating and a number of industrial applications.
![Page 5: Lesson 3 - Nonrenewable Energy Fossil Fuels](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012910/56812d00550346895d91d7fb/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Fossil FuelsFossil Fuels
• Coal is composed primarily of carbon along with: hydrogen, sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen.
• When wood, coal, and oil are burned, the energy of heat and light is released along with carbon dioxide back into our atmosphere.

Formation of CoalFormation of CoalStep 1Step 1
• Coal is the most commonly burned fossil fuel, formed during a complex process called carbonization.
• Carbonization occurs when partially decomposed plant materials is buried in swamp mud and becomes peat.
![Page 8: Lesson 3 - Nonrenewable Energy Fossil Fuels](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012910/56812d00550346895d91d7fb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Formation of CoalFormation of CoalStep 2Step 2
• As bacteria consume some of the peat and release the gases methane, CH4, and carbon dioxide, CO2, the contents of peat gradually change until mainly carbon remains.

Lesson 4 Lesson 4 - - Formation of of Petroleum and Natural GasPetroleum and Natural Gas
• Today's oil formed from the preserved remains of prehistoric zooplankton and algae, which had settled to a sea or lake bottom in large quantities.
• Oil and natural gas are most often mined from permeable sedimentary rocks

Formation of Formation of Petroleum and Natural Petroleum and Natural
GasGas
• Over geological time the organic matter mixed with mud, and was buried under heavy layers of sediment resulting in high levels of heat and pressure.
![Page 20: Lesson 3 - Nonrenewable Energy Fossil Fuels](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012910/56812d00550346895d91d7fb/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Formation of Formation of Petroleum and Natural Petroleum and Natural
GasGas
• Like coal this extreme heat and pressure condenses the former organisms in to a mixture of organic chemical compounds called kerogen.
• Kerogen cannot be given a chemical formula because its composition can vary.

• When Kerogen is heated to the right temperatures in the Earth's crust,
• Oil window 175–250 °F, • Gas window 250–300 °F, • It releases crude
oil or natural gas, collectively known as hydrocarbons (fossil fuels).

• A nuclear reaction occurs because the extra neutron that strikes the uranium atom makes it unstable causing it to split immediately.
• The split causes a chain reaction which releases more neutrons and more energy in the process.

Geothermal EnergyGeothermal Energy
• Geothermal energy is energy produced by heat within Earth.
• The heat is provided by magma that is close to the surface.

Geothermal Geothermal EnergyEnergy
• The resulting steam from water passing by nearby magma or hot gases, deep in the earth, produces a large amount of geothermal energy.

• While plants capture the Sun’s energy to move carbon from the atmosphere to the biosphere.
• Electricity can be created the same way using solar panels this is known as solar energy.

How Solar Panels How Solar Panels WorkWork
• Two plates of pure silicon would not generate electricity in solar panels, because they have no positive or negative charge.
• Solar panels are created by combining silicon with other elements that do have positive or negative charges.

• More than half of all trees that are cut down are used as fuel for heating or cooking.
• Also bacteria that decomposes the organic matter produce gases, such as methane that can be burned.
