ENERGY RESOURCES
are all forms of fuels used in the
modern world, either for heating,
generation of electrical energy, or for other
forms of energy conversion processes.
Energy resources can be roughly classified
in two categories: renewable, fossil, and
nuclear.

Renewable Energy Sources
• Include biomass, geothermal energy , hydropower ,
solar , and wind
• They are called renewable energy sources because
their supplies are replenished in a short time.
• Day after day , the sun shines , the wind blows, and
the rivers flows .
• We used renewable energy sources mainly to make
electricity.
Wind Energy
• Airflows can be used to run wind
Hydropower
turbines. • Refers to the conversion of
• The process which wind is used to energy from flowing water into
generate electricity electricity.
• Wind turbines convert the kinetic
energy in the wind into mechanical
power.
Solar Energy Biomass
• Solar energy is the energy • Biomass is organic material that
derived from the sun comes from plants and animals.
through the form of solar • Through the process of
photosynthesis , plants capture
radiation. the sun’s energy.
• When biomass is burned, the
chemical energy in biomass is
released as heat.
Tidal Energy Geothermal Energy
• Tidal energy is power • Geothermal energy is heat
produced by the surge derived within the sub-surface of
of ocean waters during the earth.
the rise and fall of tides. • Depending on its characteristics,
geothermal energy can be used
for heating and cooling purposes
or be harnessed to generate clean
electricity.

Non-renewable Energy Sources
• Include coal , petroleum , natural gas , propane, and
uranium .
• They are used to generate electricity , to heat our
homes , to move our cars , and to manufacture
products from candy bars to MP3 players.
• These energy sources are called nonrenewable
because they cannot be replenished in a short period
of time
• Petroleum, for example, was formed million years
ago from the remains of ancient sea life , so we can’t
make more quickly.
Natural Gas Coal
• Natural gas in its purest form
• Coal releases large amounts of
is pure methane but before it
energy when it is burned
is refined, it also contains
because of the density of
varying amount of ethane,
hydrocarbons in the material.
propane, butane and carbon
dioxide. • Coal is formed by dead plants
being put under significant
pressure and temperature for
millions of years.
Petroleum
• Petroleum is formed from the
compression of animal and plant
remains over millions of years.
• Petroleum has to be drilled for
because it is usually located deep
below the earth’s surface and is then
refined to produce a number of
different products.

3. Kinetic energy is the energy in matter due to its position
or arrangement of its parts.
4. The forms of energy fall into 3 categories.
5. Heat energy is the energy created by the motion of
atoms and molecules that occurs within an object.
6. Light energy is the energy that can move through empty
space.
