The document discusses different energy resources on Earth and their availability. It notes that while most renewable resources like solar and wind are not always available, non-renewable resources like fossil fuels are more consistently used to generate electricity despite causing pollution. It also covers how pressure decreases with increasing altitude due to fewer air molecules and defines force and pressure units. Finally, it explains that an object will sink if its weight is greater than the upthrust force from fluid displacement, especially if the object is denser than the fluid.

Main energy resources on earth - Fossil fuels, nuclear,
biofuel, wind, hydro-electric, tidal and solar. We mostly use non-renewable resources to generate electricity because most renewable resources are not available all the time. Most uses of non-renewable resources cause pollution, such as burning fossil fuels. Pressure decreases with increasing altitude. At higher heights, there are fewer air molecules above a given surface than a similar surface at lower levels. Force is the product of mass and acceleration of an object and has the units of Newton (N). Also, the units of pressure are Newton per square meter. If the up thrust is less than the weight of the object, the object will sink. If the density of the object is greater than the density of the fluid, the object can never displace enough fluid to create an up thrust that will hold its weight up, so it sinks.
