All about energy

Energy
resources
Energy resources are those
elements that can be used for
energy generation, such as fossil
fuels and solar radiation. The
main categories of energy
resources are renewable energy
resources and non-renewable
energy resources.
Energy resources
and types of
natural resource

• Fossil fuels are energy

resources because they
can be used to generate
energy through
combustion.
Energy resources
and types of
natural resource

• Hydroelectric power is
one of the most
important sources of
electrical energy and
has no direct emission
of greenhouse gases,
like fossil fuels.
 Energy resources
and types of natural
resource

• Nuclear energy is an important

energy resource and the most
controversial because there are
prestigious scientists who
affirm that it is the solution to
many problems such as
greenhouse gas emissions and
the cost of energy.
 natural
resources
Earth’s natural resources include
air, water, soil, minerals, plants,
and animals. Conservation is the
practice of caring for these
resources so all living things can
benefit from them now and in the
future. Some natural resource:

• Air
• Water
• Soil
• Iron

How energy resources are used to produce heat
and energy
• Fossil Fuels: Fuels such as oil, natural gas, and coal are burned in
boilers, stoves, or heat generators to create heat through combustion.
• Electric power: Electricity can be used to generate heat through
devices such as electric stoves, electric water heaters, and electric
radiators.
• Solar energy: Solar thermal panels can take advantage of solar
radiation to heat water or air
• Geothermal energy: Geothermal energy uses heat from inside the
Earth to generate heat.
