welcome to moomoomath in science in this
video let's talk about renewable and
nonrenewable resources a natural
resource is a natural material that is
used by humans examples include water
oil wood from trees in coal many of
these resources are changed into
products that make our life more
comfortable or convenient natural
resources can be classified as renewable
or non-renewable a renewable resource
can be replaced at the same rate in
which the resource is used common
renewable resources used to produce
energy include solar like these solar
panels converting solar energy into
electricity wind which can turn turbines
to produce electricity hydro electric
which involves moving water turning a
turbine geothermal which involves
capturing the underground steam that
flows to a turbine and then produces
electricity and biomass which involves
plants and poop being burned to produce
electricity Aeryn water are renewable
natural resources also they don't regrow
like trees but they are always being
renewed they move in cycles remember
renewable resources can regrow or be
replaced within a person's lifespan
non-renewable resource is a resource
that forms at a rate that is much slower
than the rate that it is formed
coal is an example it takes millions of
years to create coal and once it is used
up it is no longer available you can use
the phrase Kahn to remember three
popular non renewable resources
this stands for coal oil natural gas
nuclear fuel is also a non-renewable
resource uranium-235 which is used in
nuclear power plants is found in a
finite amount minerals used for making
metals are also non-renewable for
example steel which is used in making
buildings is made of iron or iron ore is
mined from the earth and is limited
resource non-renewable resources are
things that take longer than a person's
life span span to be replaced in fact it
takes millions of years to form these
because many important resources are
limited we can all reduce reuse and
recycle you can turn off lights when
you're not in a room you can ride your
bike more and walk more to reduce the
amount of gasoline used you can reuse
and recycle things like plastic jugs
jars paper paper bags plastics cardboard
aluminum and even steel if you'd like to
know more about how we get energy from
non-renewable resources this playlist
